Coronavirus Outbreak: Log 9 Materials ties up with Indian Institute of Science for its ‘CoronaOven’ project

Nanotechnology start-up Log 9 Materials — which has come up with a time-critical, novel technological solution to deal with the rising threat of the transmission of Covid-19 through object surfaces, is associating with the Indian Institute of Science - Bangalore for the ‘CoronaOven’ project Bengaluru/New Delhi: Nanotechnology start-up Log 9 Materials — which has come up with a time-critical, novel technological solution to deal with the rising threat of the transmission of Covid-19 through object surfaces, is associating with the Indian Institute of Science - Bangalore for the ‘CoronaOven’ project. As a part of the collaboration, Log 9 and IISC - Bangalore will be working together to carry out further research and optimization for the existing ‘CoronaOven’-branded products and also launching a number of new variants for the same product. We are confident that our co-branding with IISC will give us a huge mileage and credibility boost to scale up the effectiveness of the CoronaOven project.” Dr. Suryasarathi Bose, Associate Professor, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, who has been associated with Log 9 for a research project on EMI shielding through graphene composites, has facilitated the latest tie-up between Log 9 Materials and IISC. In view of this, IISC and Log 9’s joint research initiatives will be significant in speeding up further enhancements on the CoronaOven product.” CoronaOven is a patent-pending technology recently developed by Log 9, basis the scientific principle of UltraViolet germicidal irradiation and an US FDA study which demonstrates that controlled UVC light can permanently damage the RNA sequence of SARS-CoV1 virus and render it incapable of multiplying in living cells.
