A research team from the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences has synthesized a material that is perfect for protection of respiratory organs, analytical research and other practical purposes. An almost weightless fabric made of nylon nanofibers with a diameter less than 15 nm beats any other similar material in terms of filtering and optical properties.
