Watch! A clear view of human breath, droplets and the value of wearing a mask.

Summary

Exhaled breath and water droplets play a major role in spreading infectious diseases, including COVID-19.  Exhaled breath is usually modeled using computer simulations. However, we at NIMS have succeeded in observing it experimentally.  Using our custom-designed camera, which detects only infrared light absorbed by carbon dioxide, we've made a fascinating video.  We hope this video will help rekindle your commitment to taking preventive measures against infectious diseases.
