Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.

This Friday, he looks back on an important breakthrough in this period of a global pandemic.

This is a system that allows surfaces to be disinfected continuously.

This Friday, an innovation that will relieve those who spend their time disinfecting everything to avoid the proliferation of viruses.

This is a system that permanently destroys all germs on any surface.

You install it on a doorknob, on elevator buttons, a stair railing, the subway bar, etc.

And it will remove all germs instantly and continuously.

This immediate operation really makes the difference.

Because I had already told you about metals or antibacterial films.

They work well, but not instantaneously.

Sometimes it takes hours for all the germs to be destroyed.

So by touching an object, there will be no guarantee that there are no more germs on it.

With this new system, we will be certain that they will all be permanently destroyed.

This will prevent an infinite increase in cleaning rates.

What does it look like ?

How it works ?

It is a small box which will generate, over the entire surface of an object, a very particular kind of gas called cold plasma.

It is a natural disinfectant.

As soon as a toxin or microorganism comes in contact with it, it will be sprayed automatically.

It is already used in industry to disinfect certain parts without chemicals and to purify the air.

But now, researchers at Princeton University in the United States have found a very inexpensive way to generate this plasma directly on the surface of objects.

Is there no risk for humans?

Apparently not.

At worst, the surfaces could become slightly hot.

But there is no risk of irritation or the like, as with bleach or hydroalcoholic gel.

The patent has been made available.

We are now waiting for the first installations.
