But, buried deep within the earth, there’s another kind of fossil you might not expect — ancient aquifers, created by rain and snow that fell more than 10,000 years ago.

However, the virus can attach to the surface of PPE where it may continue to be infectious for an extended period of time. There’s a risk that a person removing their face mask could touch viral particles latched onto the outside and further spread the virus. A preprint published recently by scientists from Indiana University suggests a fabric which eradicates the infectivity of...…BETAThis is a BETA experience.
