Cloth face masks can help protect yourself and others from COVID-19, but just how effective are they at containing an explosive human sneeze? Now, researchers reporting in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering have used high-speed videos of a person sneezing to identify the optimal cloth face mask design. ACS’ Headline Science shows how the sneeze cam helped reveal the best fabric combos.
