For the US Navy, biofilm poses a $180-260 million problem as these pesky micro-organisms cover wet surfaces and cause corrosion., on wet surfaces is called biofouling. And if biofilm can cover a sink, it can take over oceanic vessels and equipment., biofilm poses a $180-260 million problem as these pesky micro-organisms cover wet surfaces and cause corrosion. That leads to more waste: time, money, and in the ocean.
UVC light has been “really effective in disinfecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” Lopes states, on surfaces, in liquids, and the air. Once underwater, however, it becomes harder to distribute light evenly, which is key. Biofilm will form on any surface area left untreated and spread as a result. Researchers at UMass Amherst have just found a way to make glass really shine by treating it with “nanoparticle-enabled waveguides,” or a “silica-nanoparticle” coat.
