...One possibility is that genetic mutations have boosted its ability to survive summer conditions, including high levels of ultraviolet radiation....
...Light that began as ultraviolet or visible radiation shifts towards the longer-wavelength infrared part of the spectrum. This phenomenon is known as redshift....
...New research by Paul Young from Lancaster University calculates that the Montreal Protocol has done even more for the climate by shielding forests and other carbon “sinks” from damaging ultraviolet radiation...
...radiation....
...It also said that laboratory studies “yielded some evidence that the virus survives longer under cold, dry and low ultraviolet radiation conditions”....
...Germicidal ultraviolet irradiation, on the other hand, is a decades-old technology. Beams of UV light kill micro-organisms by mangling RNA in viruses and DNA in bacteria and fungi....
...Their combined work deepened understanding of the ozone layer that shields living things from too much ultraviolet radiation, including how it was affected by chlorofluorocarbon gases, or CFCs, used in products...
...Two or three five-minute rounds of ultraviolet radiation leave pathogens too damaged to function....
...Science An ultraviolet sterilisation device is being trialled at Kansai airport in Japan for use on baggage carts, with hopes it could be in operation in time for the Tokyo Olympics....
...However, there are real concerns about UV radiation causing skin and eye damage to humans....
...The process takes longer in those with heavily pigmented skin that blocks more ultraviolet radiation from the sun....
...(Guardian, 19m) Climate change and cancer From air pollution and lung cancer to ultraviolet radiation and skin cancers, a discussion of how climate change is affecting cancer control....
...It helps its customers do so with its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, needed for the most advanced chips. On Wednesday, it hailed a “momentous” quarter for the new technology....
...“There could be high levels of ultraviolet radiation which would be bad for life on Earth but any life there would have evolved differently,” said Ingo Waldmann of UCL....
...(Natural background radiation in the English county is higher than in the rest of the country.)...
...Some of these find their way into the sea, where they are broken up by the waves and ultraviolet radiation, before being swept up into the atmosphere....
...In fact, celestial objects emit varying types of radiation, including from the visible, X-ray, ultraviolet and radio portions of the spectrum....
...Is it shallow water, in some inland lake, where high levels of ultraviolet radiation from the sun enable more energetic chemical reactions, or is it in the deep ocean, where no light penetrates but volcanic...
...Depletion of the ozone layer over New Zealand means that ultraviolet radiation levels are 40 times higher than they ought to be, and this, together with the long hours of sunshine and an atmosphere far from...
...It was very dark in ancestral humans to protect against ultraviolet radiation, but became paler as people moved to higher latitudes and needed to absorb more UV to maintain adequate vitamin D levels....
...This ranged from a short burst of ultra-energetic gamma rays through visible and ultraviolet light to radio waves. All astronomical observations used to depend entirely on electromagnetic radiation....
...Until 2015, all astronomical observations depended entirely on electromagnetic radiation, which manifests itself as gamma and X-rays; ultraviolet, visible and infrared light; and microwaves and radio waves...
...The primordial pond was supposedly stirred to life by lightning or ultraviolet radiation....
...Meanwhile, the risks of sun damage to the eyes from ultraviolet radiation and blue light are pushing sunglasses from being considered a “nice to have” to a “must have” item among emerging middle classes....
...The images were created using ultraviolet light that is at the very limits of Hubble’s capabilities, he said....
