New tabletop VUV laser 1,000× more efficient could improve nanoelectronics research and enable practical nuclear clocks.

Abstract: Far-UVC has emerged as a promising alternative for ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). We developed a novel far-UVC light source using Luminous Array Film (LAFi), which excites ...

A newly studied ferroelectric crystal can tune and manipulate ultraviolet and blue light in ways that could transform integrated photonics.

Using the 10-meter Hobby-Eberly Telescope in the US, astronomers have detected a subtle, hidden glow from 9 to 11 billion ...
