Ubiquitous Energy being absorbed. Developed from research done at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) they have developed organic photoactive materials (organic photovoltaics, OPVs) that allow visible light to pass through its technology but selectively absorb the light from the invisible part of the spectrum, near infrared (NIR) and ultraviolet (UV) light. They call this technology ClearView power. ClearView Power is an invisible film less than 1/1000 of a millimeter thick that can be put onto any surface and generate energy without with out affecting the material beneath it. Specifically they are trying to capture all of the photons of ultraviolet and infrared
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation fluence and it is assumed that the UV fluence will be equal to the UV dose. The UV dose is the amount of germicidal UV energy absorbed by a microbial population over a period of time. If the microorganisms are planktonic (free floating) the UV fluence will be equal the UV dose. However, if the microorganisms are protected by mechanical particles, such as dust and dirt, or have formed biofilm a much higher UV fluence will be needed for an effective UV dose to be introduced to the microbial population. The degree of inactivation by ultraviolet radiation is directly related
