For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to ...

Chinese scientists have pushed solid-state vacuum ultraviolet laser technology to a new milestone by ...

PHOENIX — Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation. It's responsible for the glow in a black light poster, or the bronze on your skin from a summer tan. Overexposure to UV radiation ...

**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 ...

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing applications; however, previous UV-B laser diodes were limited to pulsed operation ...

Researchers at NREL found that UV exposure can cause significant, partly non-recoverable degradation in TOPCon solar cells, with strong cell-to-cell and intra-cell variability linked to passivation ...

An ultraviolet light is used to kill the fungus that causes white-nosed syndrome in bats, in an Upper Peninsula mine where bats hibernate in the winter. Since 2006, the fungal disease has killed ...

Disposable diapers are a huge source of global waste, largely because they're difficult to recycle. A new process, however, could salvage the "superabsorber" polymer utilized in the liners of those ...

Ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have rapidly evolved as a promising alternative to conventional mercury-based UV lamps in water disinfection systems. Their compact size, reduced energy ...

NASA has officially selected a new mission – the Ultraviolet Explorer, or UVEX. By scanning the skies in UV light, it will be able to study the hottest objects and fleeting events like supernovae, ...

On January 26, 1978, the International Ultraviolet Explorer launched into orbit on a mission to study ultraviolet light emitted by stars and other bright objects in the universe. Because a lot of that ...
