Many industries have turned to disinfection robots to automate the cleaning of public spaces during the COVID-19 crisis, a trend that will likely not disappear once the pandemic ends, reports The ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, ultraviolet radiation became one of the go-to methods for preventing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, along with facemasks, hand sanitizer and social distancing.

Hospitals have long used ultraviolet light to zap viruses, but the devices were too expensive for businesses and schools. Spurred by the pandemic, an unlikely trio started R-Zero to develop a ...

The use of UV light as a method to sterilize areas and reduce the transmission of pathogens was first proposed in 1878 by Arthur Downes and Thomas P. Blunt. Soon after, the first recorded use of UV ...

This is the second of a two-part article. Part one can be read here. Many researchers investigating the germicidal qualities of ultraviolet radiation in schools were unable to reproduce the data that ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed many of our behaviours and attitudes towards infection control. Hand hygiene was one of the earliest and most adopted measures to counteract the spread ...

A Drexel Engineering team has translated complex computer models of UV air disinfection into simple tools that architects and engineers can use in schools, offices and clinics. The study centers ...

Environment engineer, Dr. Sunday Nunayon, has said ultraviolet (UV) disinfection offers scalable, affordable, and effective solutions to improve sanitation in toilet microenvironments, drainage stacks ...

Ultraviolet light has a long history as a disinfectant and the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is readily rendered harmless by UV light. The question is how best to harness UV light to fight ...

Among the greatest failures, indeed crimes, of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been the coverup and distortion of the science of airborne transmission, the way in which SARS-CoV-2 spreads from person to ...
