Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are a major challenge in everyday medical practice, as they often cannot be treated ...

Ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have rapidly evolved as a promising alternative to conventional mercury-based UV lamps in water disinfection systems. Their compact size, reduced energy ...

Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new electrode material for deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light-emitting diode applications. They used a cutting-edge ...

Recent advancements in fabrication technology have enabled the development of lateral AlGaN-based ultraviolet (UV)-light-emitting devices. However, they suffer from low light output power. Now ...

Researchers successfully conducted a room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a deep-ultraviolet laser diode (wavelengths down to the UV-C region). A research group led by 2014 Nobel laureate ...

However, despite the efforts of research groups around the world, no one could develop deep ultraviolet LDs. A key breakthrough only occurred after 2007 with the emergence of technology to fabricate ...

Lanthanides are a class of rare earth elements that in many countries are added to fertilizer as micronutrients to stimulate plant growth. But little is known about how they are absorbed by plants or ...

Bird strikes are up by as much as 33 percent in recent years. Could an ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) installed on general aviation aircraft help prevent dangerous bird strikes?

Too much screen time could be taking a toll on your mental health. That’s because your smartphone, tablet, laptop, and TV all give off blue light. So do fluorescent and LED (light-emitting diode ...
