Ultraviolet spectroscopy plays a critical role in the study of electronic transitions in atoms and rovibronic transitions in molecules. These studies are essential for tests of fundamental physics, ...

We are faced with a global epidemic of myopia (short-sightedness) because we are deprived of deep violet light (360-400 nm). Myopia is projected to rise from 23 to 50 percent of the world’s population ...

I was reading a children's book about insects to my daughter, and it said that bees see colors differently than humans do. My daughter immediately asked, in short succession: "What colors do they see?
