Feb 07 2021 Read 1489 Times In a breakthrough for COVID-19 prevention, a team of researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) has used UV-emitting LED lights to kill the virus indoors. Fast, effective and affordable, the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) use ultraviolet (UV) rays to destroy COVID-19. The team say the technology will soon be available for both commercial and private use, with the potential to install the LEDs in air conditioning systems, vacuums and water supplies. "Our research has commercial and societal implications, given the possibility of using such LED bulbs in all areas of o...

The Jerusalem Post. “We discovered that it is quite simple to kill the coronavirus using LED bulbs that radiate ultraviolet light,” said Professor Hadas Mamane, head of the Environmental Engineering Program at Tel Aviv University’s School of Mechanical Engineering. Mamane led the study with Professor Yoram Gerchman and Dr. Michal Mandelboim. UV-LED bulbs require less than half a minute to destroy more than 99.9% of the coronavirus on surfaces, Mamane explained. An article detailing their study and its finding was published earlier this month in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photo...

Donald Trump was right again, this time about UV light and Coronavirus UV light kills 99% of the coronavirus, just as Donald Trump suggested. He was mocked for it. Ultraviolet radiation is a common method of killing bacteria and viruses. Now, researchers from Tel Aviv University have proven that the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, can be killed efficiently, quickly, and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) at specific frequencies. The Jerusalem Post reports. “We discovered that it is quite simple to kill the coronavirus using LED bulbs that radiate ultraviolet ligh...

UV disinfection being used to clean a laboratory (LeafenLin via iStock by Getty Images) Israeli researchers have found a way to significantly cut the cost of COVID-19-killing ultraviolet lights, and they are working on LED-embedded surfaces that clean themselves. “We have discovered that it’s easier than previously imagined to disinfect from coronavirus using light, and we are already working on exciting applications for our findings,” Hadas Mamane, head of Tel Aviv University’s Environmental Engineering Program, told The Times of Israel. As the world struggles to disinfect surfaces ...

UV-LEDs can Efficiently, Quickly, Cheaply Destroy Coronavirus Written by AZoOpticsDec 15 2020 Scientists at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have established that ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) can be used to quickly, efficiently, economically destroy the coronavirus. Image Credit: Tel Aviv University. According to the research team, the UV-LED technology could soon be available for commercial and private use. This is the first study performed on the disinfection efficiency of UV-LED irradiation at a range of wavelengths or frequencies on a virus belonging to the coronavirus family. Led...
