There are different types of light: ultraviolet light, such as UVA and UVB rays from sunlight, and visible light, which is where red and blue light come in. (These are the two main light colors ...

Mayflies are harmless, don't bite, and indicate a healthy water environment. Communities along the Great Lakes are preparing for the annual mayfly season, but water temperatures may not be warm enough ...

Most importantly for light-sensitive animals, outdoor fixtures should use longer-wavelength LEDs rather than bright-white lights. Turtle hatchlings, for instance, do not respond to bulbs that ...

Photochromic molecules have been recently adopted by many researchers for organic field-effect transistor (OFET) applications, since they offer the opportunity to achieve flexible-type ultraviolet (UV ...

Artificial lighting systems are transitioning from incandescent to compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs in response to the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act and ...

In November last year, Ghana officially launched its 5G initiative, taking a bold and innovative step by introducing a ...

The sun's ultraviolet radiation, a short wavelength of light invisible to humans, can cause sunburns, which can lead to deadly health effects like skin cancer (melanoma and non-melanoma types ...

Many Michiganders are preparing for the swarms of mayflies that occur in early summer. Here's what to know about the insects.

The initial burst of current can be ten times greater than the constant current. That's why incandescent light bulbs tend to burn out when they're first turned on: The initial large rush of current ...

Researchers have created transparent contact lenses that can go beyond the human eye’s capacity to visualise the electromagnetic spectrum and include infrared light - the one we use for the ...

For that reason, finding the right types of outdoor light bulbs is essential. But first, you should understand the use, pros, and cons of each type. You can find a wide range of LED lighting forms, ...

Our eyes detect only a narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum—what we call visible light. Beyond this limited window lies a vast sensory landscape filled with ultraviolet rays, infrared radiation ...
