Mosses thrive in the most extreme environments on Earth, from the peaks of the Himalayas to the sands of Death Valley, the ...

Visium light strives to provide continuous air and surface disinfection that protects both people and animals.

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical ...

The spores’ thick outer walls acted like built-in shields, helping them withstand extreme radiation and temperature swings ...

The researchers simulated space conditions by exposing the three tissues to UV radiation and freezing and high temperatures.

To see, Fujita’s team turned to Physcomitrium patens, a well-studied species moss commonly called spreading earthmoss. They ...

Laboratories that handle animals, plants or high-allergen materials could adapt 222-nanometre far-UVC systems to reduce the ...

The plant continued to thrive in the vacuum of space during an experiment conducted on the International Space Station.

Ultraviolet light isn’t just something that can harm your skin. It’s also the sort of thing that can do a lot of damage to your interiors. The good news is that here are plenty of ways to reduce the ...

Researchers discovered that moss spores can survive nearly a year exposed directly to space. Despite intense UV radiation and temperature swings, most spores remained viable when returned to Earth.

A team of UC Riverside researchers has uncovered a potential breakthrough in solar desalination that could reduce the need for energy-intensive saltwater treatment.

That's because prolonged UV exposure without proper protection can lead to premature aging, hyperpigmentation and an ...
