When molecules interact with ultraviolet (UV) light, they can change shape quickly, producing strain—stress in a molecule's chemical structure due to an increase in the molecule's internal energy.

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can ...

When molecules interact with ultraviolet (UV) light, they can change shape in processes that typically take just tens of picoseconds. In this study, researchers imaged these changes using X-ray ...

Predicting The Lifetime Of Extreme UV Optics Date: July 27, 2005 Source: ... to varying levels of light intensity, water and hydrocarbon concentrations. ...

UV lamps are essential for gel manicures because the light makes the nail polish harden and become more durable. (Some salons use LED lights for gel manicures, but these release plenty of UV light ...
