A chemical sunscreen works by sucking in the UV light. It changes that light into heat that puffs off into the air, usually ...

The technology is called germicidal ultraviolet light (GUV), and in particular, a relatively novel kind of ultraviolet light ...

Ultraviolet light, also known as UV light, is a form of energy traveling through space. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter (100 - 400 nanometers) than that of visible ...

Background: Ultraviolet (UV) light is used for phototherapy in dermatology, and UVB light (around 310 nm) is effective for treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In addition, it is known ...

Harmful effects from UVC rays are minimal. UV light can cause skin cancer, which is one of the most common types of cancer, ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy IC 4709 located around 240 million light-years away in the southern constellation Telescopium. Hubble beautifully captures its ...

When under ultraviolet (UV) light, the fluffy feet of a certain bat in Mexico glow a spooky hue of green and blue, and it’s possible it could be a way of communicating with other members of ...

LOUISE: Ah, well sun cream doesn't actually stop light, it actively stops UVlight. FRANKIE: But doesn't UV light help the body get vitamin D? LOUISE: Yes, but too much can be harmful so.

In this month’s Weather Experiment Wednesday, Discovery Lab Senior Education Manager Micah Firestone showed us how to harness UV light to create images on special paper. This cyanotide activity ...

Highlighter pens contain chemicals that absorb visible light as well as ultraviolet (UV) light, which humans cannot see. The UV light “excites” the electrons in the ink’s molecules and ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a new type of supercapacitor that can be charged using ...
