Whether and how protective clothing and utensils can be reused against droplet infections is currently part of public debate. Despite the increased incidence of infection and associated supply bottlenecks, the medical community has been hesitant to respond. A new study on the wettability of coated cleanroom garments takes an important step.
The materials studied as part of a research collaboration showed very good liquid-repellent properties, as required to shield infectious droplets. The contact angle method, which was the focus of the study, proved to be valid and can potentially be used as an easily accessible method for testing medical protective clothing. In addition to the measuring equipment manufacturer Krüss, the study involved Dastex Reinraumzubehör (engl. Cleanroom accessories) GmbH & Co KG, and OHB System AG, who played a key role in initiating the study.

Machine learning to accelerate green internet development
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly important tools in the development of the energy efficient internet and data transmission of the future. DTU is strengthening the area with the appointment of Group Leader Darko Zibar as Professor at DTU Fotonik.
It is a well-established fact that machine learning and artificial intelligence can find connections in large data sets e.g. in the health sector but it is relatively new that researchers are beginning to see how the methods can be applied in developing energy-saving solutions in such fundamental internet technologies as optical communication and intelligent optical systems.
