We search for large, extended molecular gas reservoirs among 46 previously detecte... Read More about COALAS II. Extended molecular gas reservoirs are common in a distant, forming galaxy cluster.

Antiviral activity of salt-coated materials against SARS-CoV-2 (2023)
Journal Article
Coleman, C. M., Wang, B., Wang, Y., Tapia-Brito, E., Chen, Z., Riffat, J., Riffat, S., Tarlinton, R., & Ghaemmaghami, A. (2023). Antiviral activity of salt-coated materials against SARS-CoV-2. Access Microbiology, 5(9), Article 000492. https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0.000492.v5

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demonstrated the importance of human coronaviruses and the need to develop materials to prevent the spread of emergent respiratory viruses. Coating of surfaces with antiviral materials is a major interest in controlling spread... Read More about Antiviral activity of salt-coated materials against SARS-CoV-2.

Version 4: Antiviral activity of salt-coated materials against SARS-CoV-2. (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Coleman, C. M., Wang, B., Wang, Y., Tapia-Brito, E., Chen, Z., Riffat, J., Riffat, S., Tarlinton, R., & Ghaemmaghami, A. Version 4: Antiviral activity of salt-coated materials against SARS-CoV-2

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demonstrated the importance of human coronaviruses and the need to develop materials to prevent the spread of emergent viruses. Here we describe that simple salt coating on a range of surfaces can degrade SARS-CoV-2.
