A clean, smooth interface between a gallium oxide semiconductor and palladium electrodes enhances the performance of solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors.

You’d divide it by 25 to get the number within the UV index range, and this equals 6.3. Then, you round it to the nearest ...

Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength ...

Scorpions are one of many animals that appear to glow under ultraviolet (UV) light. Scientists are finding that photoluminescence is more common than previously suspected. Shine an ultraviolet ...

Abstract: Living mammalian cells and bacteria were exposed to irradiation from narrow-band UV lamps and treated with a nonthermal gas plasma (plasma needle). The model systems were: Chinese Hamster ...

A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, researchers have discovered -- upending assumptions that the material class is exclusively insulating.

Abstract: An investigation on formaldehyde detection using UV-Vis spectrophotometer has been explored in this work. A 37 % aqueous solution of formaldehyde known as formalin is categorized as ...

Researchers have developed the world's first near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, non-destructive and species-agnostic detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)—the ...

“Extensive research has shown that UV radiation from the sun is a significant cause of skin cancers such as melanoma. It’s really indisputable at this point,” Suozzi told CNN in a prior ...

When the amount of CB is 10%, the UV radiation protection factor (UPF) of the PET fabric is 164.66, and the UV resistance of the fabric is more than 2 times higher than that of the original fabric.
