Harnessing UV Light to Combat Bacteria

April 17, 2024  •  EPISODE 218

In this episode of ScienceLIVE, Roger Billings highlights the power of germicidal UV light to combat bacteria. After developing an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen and oxygen, he encountered a challenge with bacteria buildup in Europe, where ozone-treated water was causing issues. His innovative solution led to a breakthrough invention used by dentists across the U.S. to ensure sterilization and safety.

    I wonder if this could be used in nanotechnology. Maybe, after cancerous cells have been detected by some other means, a nanobot can enter the cell and destroy the DNA with UV.

    The difference between the Learned and scripted robots/Animatronics were very interesting. The learned behaviors seemed to have a better chance of being like the action being asked than the scripted action.
