ASU Researchers Test Inventors’ Coronavirus-Killing Smartphone Technology

Galileo Group, Inc., an advanced technology, and innovation company specializing in remote sensing services, collaborated with researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) and the Nanotechnology Enabled Water Treatment Center to design, build and test a smartphone attachment, ARMADA™ UV-C, that rapidly inactivates coronavirus from commonly touched surfaces using light in the ultraviolet range. A recent study by the team proved that light in the UV-C range can be used to sanitize against bacteria and viruses within seconds.1 ARMADA™ UV-C, Galileo Group’s most recent discovery, is an upgraded custom designed UV-C emitter tested specifically for eradicating human coronavirus from surfaces.2 The tests were conducted…
