When talking about the transition of global energy markets towards a more sustainable and decarbonized value chain, sector coupling has become the new buzzword. In general, it refers to the intertwining of traditionally separated energy sectors.  But the term has also been increasingly adopted as a synonym for the continuing electrification of fossil-fuel-reliant energy market segments. While this is clearly a prerequisite for achieving a carbon-neutral power supply, the challenges must st...

Ultra-violet (UV) radiation is an effective non-contact disinfection method, killing microbes, bacteria, and viruses, including COVID-19, on most surfaces, in water, and in the air. The short wavelength, high energy photons disrupt the RNA/DNA in the cellular structure of microbes and also create free radicals which damage the genomes of viruses, introducing defects that rapidly kill the pathogen.  It is this disrupting and oxidizing effect that makes UV disinfection so effective and usefu...
