news about cell phones• Cell phones have 18 times more harmful bacteria than the

Their Idea• After hearing all those facts, the students wanted to do
something about it• “ding-dong moment”• While in the cancer lab at their university, they realized

Phone Soap• These findings lead to the creation of phone soap• A small box equipped with a UV-C light • The light has a short wavelength that penetrates the cell
wall of the bacteria which in turn kills it off• The light runs on a timer of 3-5 minutes and shuts off
when clean• There is also a charger in each box so that you can place it
in the box at night and wake up to a clean charged phone
