Team of German Researchers Looks into Superspreaders Phenomenon
Researchers from the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg are currently examining the rise and spread of aerosols using artificially manufactured suspended particles and tissue cultivations. The researchers, who hail from the departments of process engineering, biomedical sciences and physics, aim to discover why the “superspreader” phenomenon exists. The group of scientists will be investigating how virus particles in humans are packed into the infectious air bubbles and which processes allow these particles to stick to the airways of other individuals where they then pop, causing infection. The researchers from the process engineering department will be designing simulation models to help…
