CopperPen, made by Solioz Scientific, Switerland, 2014
Many of the surfaces and things we use daily, including pens, can be carriers of bacteria and viruses. Some of these can be harmful to our health. Inspired by his research into copper, Professor Marc Solioz came up with the idea of the CopperPen designed for medical and healthcare workers. Copper naturally kills some bacteria and viruses by breaking down their cell walls in a process called contact killing.
