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 ...

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 ...

However, the blue tapetum also lets up to 60 percent of UV light pass through to the eye’s color sensors. The reindeer likely see the winter world as a shade of purple the way a human may see a ...

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 ...

UV Light Reveals Surprising Seashell Secrets From 240 Million Years Ago Ancient shells get a gorgeous glow-up and show off their fancy patterns. Amanda Kooser.

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

Radiation from nail dryers may damage DNA and cause cancer-causing mutations in human cells, a study has found — and that might have you wondering whether your regular gel mani-pedi is worth the ...

“Remember that UV light can damage their eyesight, and you should take a red light to do your spotlighting instead,” he said. Should you actually go look for glowing mammals in the dark, let ...

Exposure to the UV light also caused mitochondrial and DNA damage in the remaining cells. It resulted in mutations with patterns that can be observed in skin cancer in humans, according to the study.

Let there be UV light. A “hidden chapter” of biblical text that is said to date back 1,750 years has been interpreted by an Austrian scientist, according to a study published last month in the ...
