TED: A new weapon in the fight against superbugs | David Brenner

The video discusses the growing threat of superbugs and the limitations of a drug-based approach. It introduces a physics-based solution using far-UVC light, which can kill bacteria, including drug-resistant strains, without harming human skin. The speaker shares a personal story about a friend who died from a superbug infection, motivating his research. The video highlights the potential of far-UVC light in various settings, such as hospitals and schools, to prevent the spread of infections. The speaker also addresses the challenges of proving the safety and efficacy of this approach and the need for regulatory approval.
