Researchers create 'UV Curtain' that can sterilize rooms against coronaviruses

Researchers from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have created a new system to protect areas from the virus, using a light-emitting diode (LED)-based ultraviolet C (UV-C) light curtain. Specific wavelengths of UV-C are known to inactivate viruses and bacteria, and this tool could help keep areas sterile.
