Animals with ultraviolet color patterns can be found all over nature. Here’s what we know about what purpose these patterns ...

Researchers at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) have demonstrated how genetically engineered enzymes can ...

Lots of sunshine is expected over the weekend and into the start of next week. Everyone loves when the blue sky is out, but many forget to protect their skin from potentially harmful UV radiation.

Researchers at James Cook University (JCU) have been investigating why some Australian mammals glow under ultraviolet (UV) ...

Tiny carbon tubes beam out stronger light by stealing a boost from internal vibrations—a discovery that could revolutionize ...

Higher frequencies, which are those above the visible spectrum, make up ultraviolet (beyond violet) light. Having the most energetic frequencies, UV light can wrinkle your skin, give you sunburn ...

The team found the molecule porphyrin causes the fur of bandicoots, quolls, and possums to glow bright pink under black light ...

As part of ESA/Hubble's 35th anniversary celebrations, the European Space Agency (ESA) shared new images that revisited ...

By using precise control of ultraviolet and visible light, the researchers could switch between the rotation of helices, offering a breakthrough for novel materials with tunable properties.

Interestingly, under certain conditions, the resulting helical aggregates were found to be right-handed instead of left-handed, and exposure to stronger UV light followed by visible light led to ...
