Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on them. This finding could help to exploit the process in applications such ...

The UV light “excites” the electrons in the ink ... The flow chart below shows how they are different and gives examples of each type. Content provided by Young Post is pleased to partner ...

UV light is not visible to humans, but some animals (bees, for example) can see it. Since we can't see what an image taken in UV would truly look light, this picture is a false-color composite ...

A well-known example is the formation of ground-level ozone when UV light hits nitrogen oxides. A research team led by Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt from the Institute of Experimental Physics at ...
