UV radiation is a part of something that you may faintly remember from your K-12 or collegiate years called the electromagnetic spectrum (below). Electromagnetic energy propagates in wave form and ...

Archivists who work in museums must be very bored. Who would think of placing taxidermied specimens from 1922 under ultraviolet light to see what happens? But ...

1. Three series of plants were grown and each series was divided into three sets. All the conditions of the three sets of one series were identical with the exception of the range of wave length of ...

Seedlings of two Southern Hemisphere temperate trees species (mountain beech: Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides (Hook. f.) Poole and broadleaf: Griselinia littoralis Raoul) were grown in the ...

During solar eruptions, the extended outer atmosphere of the Sun―the corona―ejects large clouds of charged particles and harmful ultraviolet waves into space. This phenomenon, known as coronal mass ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a component of the solar spectrum, plays a critical role in a broad range of environmental and health-related phenomena. Advances in measurement techniques, from ...

In nature, ultraviolet radiation from sunlight is not the amphibian killer scientists once suspected. Naturally occurring murky water and females who choose to lay their eggs in the shade keep embryos ...

Associate Professor, Genomics and Molecular Biology; Biomedical Sciences, Bond University Dr Lotti Tajouri is a member of both Dubai Police Scientist Council and Dubai Future Council on Community ...

Up to a certain point, very luminous stars can have a positive effect on the formation of planets, but from that point on the radiation they emit can cause the material in protoplanetary discs to ...

The agency recommended that consumers avoid using the disinfection products because of high levels of radiation that could damage skin or eyes. By McKenna Oxenden The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ...

Quickly and easily measure vacuum ultraviolet spectra in experiments like: plasma processing (semicon etch plasma), fluorescence (doped crystals), luminescence (phosphors), and VUV photoemission.
