Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light-related ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a type of radiation. It has more energy than radio waves or visible light but less energy than X-rays or gamma rays. You can be exposed to UV light via natural sunlight or ...

Scientists in France tested the effectiveness of various encapsulant materials, used to laminate solar cells into modules, at protecting cells and other components from damage caused by ultraviolet ...

UV light sanitizers are popping up as the answer to killing coronavirus on our hands and phones, but consumer devices may have more risks than they're worth. With man-made hand sanitizer in short ...

Ultraviolet light has a long history as a disinfectant, and the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is readily rendered harmless by UV light. The question is how best to harness UV light to fight ...

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 ...

A recent study has shown that a UV light technology already used to prevent the spread of other airborne diseases in buildings has the potential to be effective against COVID-19. A recent study has ...

Bacterial biofilms are clusters of microorganisms that form on wetted surfaces virtually everywhere. They harbor pathogens that compromise water quality, and they can disrupt the operation of many ...

We are faced with a global epidemic of myopia (short-sightedness) because we are deprived of deep violet light (360-400 nm). Myopia is projected to rise from 23 to 50 percent of the world’s population ...
