Face masks cause the glasses to fog up when worn. Here are some tips to prevent fogging, choose the right masks, and scientific reasons for such an occurrence.
A new study recently suggested that up to 30 percent of humans are fooled by the faces they see around, yet artificial intelligence or AI is getting it right all the time.
After testing various methods "to make masks seal" better and more effectively around the face, researchers discovered that a pair of hosiery can do the trick best of providing protection against COVID-19 and other viral infections.
Some experts urge the public to upgrade cloth and surgical masks to N95 masks that are much more protective, although a shortage of supplies remains a concern.
A medical expert recently emphasized the need to wear a surgical mask instead of the one made with cloth material to ensure protection from the COVID-19 virus.
Scientists in Japan are working on a coronavirus-detecting mask that works as a person wears it, identifying infections that might otherwise have been missed.
While particulate respirator type N95 masks are tried, tested, and proven effective in terms of protection against COVID-19, they are a potential shield against other factors too, that may be harmful to human health like wildfire smoke.
New research has just proven the efficacy of face masks as a protection against COVID-19. However, according to the researchers, the surgical mask is guaranteed effective while the cloth-made falls short.
Scientists have recently studied the use of face masks, as well as the efficacy of those that are made with nanofibers. They found that masks made with the material need further improvement for better efficacy.
A study confirms that face masks can prevent expired particles produced when breathing, talking, coughing, and sneezing from spreading despite small gaps on the side.
As post-COVID-19 vaccination result, people who have been fully vaccinated against the virus don't need to mask up anymore. They do not need to stay six feet away from others.
