Influence of Humidity on FFP Masks with Electret Filter Media Under Real-Life Wearing Conditions by Daniel Stoll, Sergiy Antonyuk

“…Most FFP (Filtering Face Piece) masks are made from nonwoven filter media that are electrostatically charged, resulting in the additional electrostatic capture mechanism of particles. The protective effect of these masks is therefore mainly dependent on the electric field surrounding the charged fibers. …”

Universal coherent atom-molecule oscillations in the dynamics of the unitary Bose gas near a narrow Feshbach resonance by Ke Wang, Zhendong Zhang, Shu Nagata, Zhiqiang Wang, K. Levin

“…The same characteristic frequency, determined by the Feshbach coupling, is observed in all types of particles. To understand these quench dynamics and how these different particle species are created, we develop a beyond Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov dynamical framework including a type of cross-correlation between atoms and molecules. …”
