After sustained research into the fundamental theories and core technologies of vacuum ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials, a team of researchers from the institute successfully developed an ...

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 ...

**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 ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to successfully synthesize more sustainable and recyclable polymer materials. Led by ...

UV light reveals a version of the world humans were never meant to see. Everyday objects, clothing, skin, and even surfaces you think are clean suddenly look completely different under ultraviolet.

Dye-doped PDMS optical fiber at the center whose flexibility is demonstrated by a knot, and the switching mechanism of the organic dye. The old saying “the dose makes the poison” also holds true for ...

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 ...

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, ...

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 100–200 nm) light sources are indispensable for advanced spectroscopy, quantum research, and semiconductor lithography. Although second harmonic generation (SHG) using ...

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 ...
