Scientists are hailing a breakthrough that could lead to one of medicine’s holy grails – a cure for the common cold.

Researchers have found they can attach tiny studs of silver to harmless bacteria, giving them the ability to destroy viruses. They tested the silver-impregnated bacteria against norovirus, which causes winter vomiting outbreaks, and found they leave the virus unable to cause infections.

The researchers believe the same technique could help to combat other viruses, including influenza and those responsible for causing the common cold.
