MIT engineers may have solved one of the coronavirus pandemic's biggest problems

A reusable coronavirus face mask that can provide adequate protection in high-risk settings such as hospitals is in the prototyping phase. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital created N95 face masks from silicone featuring user-replaceable filters. The silicone rubber is designed to withstand several sterilization methods, which would allow healthcare workers to reuse the N95 mask multiple times. The product could enter mass-production after receiving the proper regulatory appro...
