‘I can’t sleep, I can’t even cry’: NGO worker on rebuilding Beirut after blast

QUT – Science and Engineering – New virus-filtering mask material to be fast-tracked to market

A new company, CelluAir, will bring the world-first, virus-filtering mask material made from agriculture waste to market. The material was developed by QUT process engineer Dr Thomas Rainey and his research team.
