Researchers from the University of Houston, in collaboration with others, have designed a “catch and kill” air filter that can trap the virus responsible for COVID-19, killing it instantly.

Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, collaborated with Monzer Hourani, CEO of Medistar, a Houston-based medical real estate development firm, and other researchers to design the filter, which is described in a paper published in Materials Today Physics.

I believe HEPA filters kill 99.5% of bacteria, virus and pollen and are fitted in aircraft, is this not simular?

HEPA filters, are just ultra fine filters, they can trap a virus but do not kill it. Someone has to change the filters and contamination can be a result as live virii can still be on them.
