TED: Can light stop the coronavirus? | David Brenner

The video discusses the properties and applications of ultraviolet (UV) light, focusing on far UV C light. Far UV C light is effective in killing viruses and bacteria while being safe for human exposure. It has potential applications in indoor spaces to reduce virus transmission, including COVID-19. The video also covers the physics behind far UV C light, its safety, and the challenges in its production and implementation.

How does far UV C light interact with living cells compared to viruses and bacteria?

What are the potential implications of using far UV C light in public spaces?

What role does the skin microbiome play in relation to far UV C light exposure?

What challenges exist in the production and implementation of far UV C light technology?
