Abu Dhabi: A new COVID-19-fighting robot that emits ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect public spaces and offices has been revealed in Bahrain.
The autonomous machine beams out short-wavelength UV which kills coronavirus particles by disrupting their DNA in a process known as ‘ultraviolet germicidal irradiation’.
A prototype designed by Fab Lab Bahrain, in collaboration with the country’s Ministry of Youth and...
One of the most exciting aspects of the world of technology is how one innovation builds atop one another. From basic computers, we moved to more complex operating systems and touchscreen technology—and for cell phones, too, as they graduated into smartphones.
