UV light reveals a version of the world humans were never meant to see. Everyday objects, clothing, skin, and even surfaces you think are clean suddenly look completely different under ultraviolet.

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to successfully synthesize more sustainable and recyclable polymer materials. Led by ...

An international research team has achieved record perovskite solar module stability under light, heat, and UV stress with a chemistry-driven passivation technology that is industry-compatible.

Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using atom-thin materials. The light flashes last just femtoseconds and can be ...

A programmable semiconductor changes its electronic properties under UV light and reverts under a different wavelength, enabling optical writing and reading for potential computing applications.

UV-C light is a type of ultraviolet light with shorter wavelength and more energy than UV light of type A and B. Photonic components operating in the UV-C range can unlock new opportunities across ...

Anna Wang receives funding from the Australian Research Council, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and Moderna Australia. Jon Beves receives funding from the ...

Imagine switching on a light at home that can disable airborne allergens within minutes. The unstoppable sneezing, itchy skin and swollen eyes finally ease up. Well, a team at the University of ...

During the workday, you know how common it is to lose track of time. One minute, you’re starting your day by brewing a cup of coffee and checking emails, then seemingly in the blink of an eye, it’s ...
