12 October 2014

 - Texas company, Xenex has created a revolutionary germ-zapping robot that may help stop the spread of the Ebola virus.

The disinfecting robot goes by the name of “Little Moe” and is designed to eliminate viruses. “Little Moe” became commercially available in 2010 and is currently being used in 250 hospitals across the country.

The robot uses a Xenon bulb containing high-energy ultraviolet (UV-C) light and high intensity pulses to sanitize a room. In less than 5 minutes, the Xenon-filled bulb can kill 99.9% of dangerous viruses.
