A new publication in Opto-Electronic Science discusses boosting UV light absorption in a 2D semiconductor with quantum dot hybrids for enhanced light emission.

In this study, we aimed to enhance the UV light absorption and emission properties of monolayer tungsten disulfide (1L-WS 2) by incorporating quantum dots derived from 2D materials (2D/QD hybrids).

The absorption spectra of proteins are well known. Below a wavelength of 250 nm, their absorption of UV light rises rapidly: it takes some 3 µm of biological tissue to reduce the intensity of 250 nm ...

Venus, known as Earth’s “sister planet,” is anything but hospitable. With its thick atmosphere, extreme pressure, and scorching heat, Venus has long been considered a lifeless world. However, recent ...

UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis, absorption spectrum and absorbance units UV-Vis spectroscopy information may be presented as a graph of absorbance, optical density or transmittance as a function of ...

You can look for a label that says they offer 100 percent UV protection, or UV absorption up to 400NM, which means the same thing," said Roberts.

The Sunfriend is not the first UV-measuring wrist band we've looked at, but devices such as the UVeBand measure the period of effectiveness of sunscreen based on cumulative UV exposure and prompt ...

Highly enhanced UV absorption and light emission of monolayer WS2 through hybridization with Ti2N MXene quantum dots and g-C3N4 quantum dots This work represents a significant advancement in the ...

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is a widely used technique in many areas of science ranging from bacterial culturing, drug identification and nucleic acid purity checks and quantitation, to ...
