Superbugs 'could be destroyed using beams of light that decontaminate the air' | Mail Online: "Hospital superbugs such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile could be beaten using light, scientists said today.
A team from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow has developed a 'pioneering' lighting system that can kill the bacteria.
The technology decontaminates the air and exposes surfaces by bathing them in a narrow spectrum of visible-light wavelengths, known as HINS-light.
It works by exciting molecules within the bacteria, which in turn produces 'highly reactive' chemical species that are lethal to it."
