Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

A survey of small, cool stars is helping to narrow in on the conditions that might set the stage for life beyond our solar system. A look at about 200 ultracool dwarf stars shows that they lack ...

Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using atom-thin materials. The light flashes last just femtoseconds and can be ...

Many animals possess hidden vibrant colors, invisible to humans, revealed under ultraviolet light through biofluorescence. This phenomenon, where tissues absorb and re-emit light, is widespread across ...

The UV index measures the strength of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The index ranges from 0 to 11, with higher numbers indicating greater risk of sunburn and skin damage. Protective measures, ...

**ECCMID has now changed its name to ESCMID Global, please credit ESCMID Global Congress (formerly ECCMID, Barcelona, Spain, 27-30 April) in all future stories** Experts are working on a new type of ...

The importance of solar power as a renewable energy resource is increasing. Sunlight contains high-energy UV light with a wavelength shorter than 400 nm, which can be broadly used, for example, for ...
