Researchers have shown that ultraviolet light can be used to disinfect surfaces and kill viruses in ambient air in ways that could be used to reduce transmission in public spaces.

However, these ambient light sources generally have a large portion of their energy in the lower-energy visible region and only a fraction of it in the ultraviolet, so researchers have been ...

Sanitizing small electronics with at-home UVC lights raises questions about effectiveness, safety, and necessity. It may not ...

Germicidal ultraviolet light has been demonstrated to work in reducing the transmission of several bacterial and viral infections. Some which include lessening the transmission of measles, mumps ...

The new SRMS-D058 series of sensors can measure ambient or UV light, with the wall-mount ambient-light versions measuring up to either 65,000 or 200,000 Lux.

Although ultraviolet (UV) light is widely known as a disinfectant, it was also used to erase EPROM chips. After several minutes of exposure to UV light, the chip can be programmed again (see EPROM).

Generating ultra-violet lasers with near-infrared light through 'domino upconversion' of nanoparticles Strong and coherent ultraviolet light emission devices have enormous medical and industrial ...

University of Warwick astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence that a nearby white dwarf is in fact the remnant of two ...

Internal temperature compensation allows high accuracy at low light levels over the range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is packaged in a 2-pin 1206 standard carrier measuring 3.26 mm long x 1.6 ...

And that system can be "by using ultraviolet (UV) light to illuminate the contaminants." "The UV light rays can initiate a photo-oxidation process, which results in decomposition of squalene ...

In light-contrasted ecosystems, light and background colours influence evolution of animal coloration. As conspicuousness is achieved for signals rich in the colours of ambient light but poorly ...
