For most environments, disinfection has barely changed since the 1918 influenza outbreak; many of the same companies offer similar chemical products with which to douse surfaces.
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic a startup decided to explore the use of ultraviolet light to disinfect surfaces, not just in high-end laboratories, but classrooms, bars, shops and anywhere people gather.
This episode covers the journey to the first disinfection robot, working with UV-C light to deactivate viruses, as well as safe building practices and the dream of active disinfection while a room is in use.
