Ultraviolet radiation is quantified daily using the “UV Index”, which takes into account calendar date, location, and weather conditions. At a UV index of 6, the risk of getting sunburned ...

A beginner-friendly guide to interpreting UV-Vis spectroscopy results, covering key concepts like ?max, absorbance, electronic transitions, and common pitfalls in spectral analysis.

Dr Sangoi also said, “Photokeratitis, in short, a sunburn of the eye, is one such disease caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation, leading to redness, pain, blurred vision, and temporary ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a well-known cause of DNA damage, which can lead to diseases like skin cancer. But how do our cells repair this damage to protect us? Researchers from ...
