For this "ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú at the Half," University of Kentucky College of Engineering Professor Dibakar Bhattacharyya, PhD, and doctoral student Rollie Mills, discuss the medical face mask membrane they have developed. The membrane can capture and deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on contact.

The innovation was made possible through multidisciplinary research at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú, with faculty and graduate and undergraduate students from the ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Medicine.

"ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú at the Half" airs during halftime of each ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú football and basketball game broadcast on radio and is hosted by ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú Public Relations and Strategic Communications and Marketing and Brand Strategy. To hear the "ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú at the Half" interview, click . &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
