Fast walking in narrow corridors can increase COVID-19 transmission risk. Long streams of virus-laden droplets can trail behind infected individuals walking through a narrow corridor,…
Understanding Dangerous Droplet Dynamics New fluid dynamics research reveals why social distancing alone doesn’t necessarily prevent infection indoors and how to detect COVID-19 super-spreaders. Researchers…
Face masks slow spread of COVID-19; types of masks, length of use matter. The use of face masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19…
Sneezes from people who have congested noses and a full set of teeth travel about 60% farther than from people who don’t, according to a…
The Contagion Airborne Transmission inequality model illustrates correlation between physical distancing and protection, the efficacy of face masks and the impact of physical activity on…
In specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows. It’s widely known that thick, viscous liquids — like honey —…
