Abstract

The bacterial cell differs somewhat from the cells found in plants and animals. Bacterial cells do not have a nucleus, and organelles are bound together by the membrane except for ribosomes. Moreover, viruses are not completely alive because they require a host to reproduce. Viruses usually remain infectious for a longer time on hard surfaces, as opposed to soft surfaces. So, viruses on plastic, glass, and metal last longer than those on fabrics. Low sunlight, low humidity and low temperatures extend the viability of most viruses. While viruses survive on hard surfaces, bacteria are more likely to persist in porous materials. In general, bacteria remain contagious for a longer time than viruses. How long the bacteria stay outside the body depends on how different external conditions are from their preferred environment and whether the bacteria can produce spores. Unfortunately, spores in adverse conditions may persist for a long time. Therefore, the current research has developed a material made of Titanium Dioxide; Sodium Silicate and Silica Nanoparticles that has the ability to eliminate bacteria and most of viruses in a biophysical field with a radius of 80 cm in a safe and effective manner. The effectiveness of the material was tested within independent research laboratories (see Appendix A and B). The results indicated the effectiveness of the material in eliminating bacteria on surfaces and in the water.
