Experts in the fields of metallurgy and microbiology say that copper can be a powerful weapon in the current fight against COVID-19. They believe it can also help curtail future pandemics if utilized properly. In this digital-first article from Advanced Materials & Processes,<\/em> ASM International\u2019s flagship magazine, the authors recommend the expanded use of copper alloys in public spaces to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

Read the full digital-first article, which will also be published in the May\/June 2020 issue of Advanced Materials & Processes<\/em> (AM&P<\/em>) magazine.<\/p>\n

This article\u2014the first in an AM&P<\/em> series on materials science and the coronavirus\u2014is written by Harold T. Michels, consultant and retired senior vice president, Copper Development Association, Manhasset, N.Y., and Corinne A. Michels, distinguished professor emerita, Queens College \u2013 CUNY, Flushing, N.Y.<\/p>\n

Dr. Harold Michels is an independent consultant with expertise in physical metallurgy and corrosion of copper alloys, nickel alloys, stainless steels, as well as other alloys systems. He has a special focus on the antimicrobial properties of copper alloys. Prior to his executive role at the Copper Development Association, he held a variety of positions with Inco Limited, including concurrently serving as director of strategic planning, and president of the La Que Center for Corrosion Technology. He has a Ph.D. in materials science from New York University. He is a lifetime member of ASM International and member of the ASM Long Island Chapter.<\/p>\n

Dr. Corinne Michels, a molecular geneticist, earned her doctorate at Columbia University and did post-doctoral research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx before joining the faculty of the Biology Department at Queens College \u2013 CUNY, where she rose to the position of distinguished professor. Her research focused on genetic model organisms, particularly Saccharomyce<\/em>s yeast, and was funded for over 30 years by awards from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Most recently, she studied the mechanism of how copper kills bacteria.<\/p>\n
