For some time now, it’s been established that the primary route of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is airborne. Research suggests that contagious particles are released into the air and linger for several ...

NEW YORK, NY--Far-UVC light is a promising new technology for reducing airborne virus levels in occupied indoor spaces, but its effectiveness has not been evaluated in real-life scenarios. A new study ...

The light at the end of the tunnel for the COVID-19 pandemic might just be overhead. A new study shows a hands-off approach using ultraviolet light, called far-UVC light, reduced transmission of ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has wavelengths from ten to 400 nanometers (nm), which is shorter than visible light, but longer than X-rays. People are commonly ...

In January 2024, I wrote a big piece on a relatively new, and very promising, approach to fighting respiratory diseases like Covid, tuberculosis, and flus. It’s called “far-UVC,” a type of ultraviolet ...

A new type of ultraviolet light that is safe for people took less than 5 minutes to reduce the level of indoor airborne microbes by more than 98%, a joint study by scientists at Columbia University ...

A new study says that a newly discovered ultraviolet light is said to kill almost all microbes in a room and could potentially avoid another pandemic. The study researchers said that the new light ...

RSE Ventures is the first business to incorporate Visium technology in its offices, inactivating up to 99% of airborne pathogens in the areas the devices are installed Lit Thinking's launch of Visium ...

A bus being treated with ultraviolet light in Shanghai, China. Although types of UV light are already in use to decontaminate vehicles and indoor spaces, the wavelengths used are dangerous to people.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has prompted significant economic, scientific, and public efforts to contain ...

Groundbreaking research explores far-UVC light as a potential breakthrough in stopping highly pathogenic avian influenza spread in poultry farms.
