Many of us look forward to summer for the opportunities to get outdoors. Too much outdoors can hurt in certain situations. Aside from stormy weather and lightning, rip currents and tropical storms, ...

According to a new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, the ozone isn’t healing as quickly as expected, leading to higher levels of surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation in recent years.

Ozone depletion in the stratosphere continues to affect not only ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels at the Earth’s surface but also climate across the Southern Hemisphere, an international study ...

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — UV Resources announced that its Upper-Room UVGI systems have been certified by Intertek to meet UL-2998, a zero-ozone verification standard. The UL-2998 standard reaches beyond ...

UV radiation is a part of something that you may faintly remember from your K-12 or collegiate years called the electromagnetic spectrum (below). Electromagnetic energy propagates in wave form and ...

Paleobotanists put dwarf, bonsai pine trees in growth chambers and subjected them to up to 13 times the UV-B radiation Earth experiences today, simulating conditions that likely existed 252 million ...

A recent study published in ChemBioChem explores how ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) pretreatment can enhance the enzymatic breakdown of mixed cotton/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textiles using PETase.

Thin film deposition is crucial across industries like semiconductors, photovoltaics, and optics, where achieving high-quality films hinges on effective surface preparation. Contaminants such as ...

Pine trees become temporarily sterile when exposed to ultraviolet radiation as intense as some scientists believe the Earth experienced 252 million years ago during the planet's largest mass ...
