Scientists at the University of Uppsala (Sweden) in collaboration with the German virologist developed nano cellulose fiber membranes to remove viruses from the water. Nanoxenlulo membrane known by the term "Mille-feuille filters" because they are structurally identical layer Mille-feuille breads of France, will be able to eliminate the virus of small size.

Nanoxenlulo new membrane structure not only eliminate virus but also has a long life span. Compared to cellulose membranes tea bag filter, the filter membrane pore structure can filter ri withstand soaring conventional processes and chemical physics.

Group led by Professor Albert Mihranyan head, he has collaborated with the virologist from Charles River (cologne, Germany). In early 2014, the researchers introduced the filter can capture the larger viruses such as influenza virus. According Mihranyan. Their goal is to develop membranes can remove viruses from the water as easily as coffee.
