The new heat-based neutralisation method may also possibly be employed to help combat other pathogens, such as influenza.
A team of researchers led by Arum Han from Texas A&M University has managed to confirm that exposing SARS-CoV-2 to high temperature for a very brief period of time results in neutralisation of the pathogen, phys.org reports.
The experiment conducted by Han and his colleagues involved heating a section of a stainless steel tube through which a solution containing the coronavirus was being run, and immediately cooling that section afterwards.
