Westerhoff reported that within seconds the device eradicated a range of viruses and bacteria on glass, ceramic and metal surfaces. Abbaszadegan  says the tests showed a major improvement in hygienic conditions due to the device inactivating a large number of viral particles and bacterial cells. Galileo Group envisions the results leading to a low-cost solution that effectively decontaminates work spaces and frequently touched surfaces and equipment.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"mb-2\">GALILEO GROUP\u00a0MAY 14, 2021ASU RESEARCHERS TEST INVENTORS\u2019 CORONAVIRUS-KILLING SMARTPHONE TECHNOLOGY as part of a NEWT collaboration.
