The darkest form of ultraviolet light, known as UV-C, is unique because of its reputation as a killer - of harmful organisms.With wavelengths of between 200 and 280 nanometers, this particular form of UV light penetrates the membranes of viruses, bacteria, mold and dust mites, attacking their DNA and killing them.

Cellphones and other devices could soon be controlled with touchless gestures and charge themselves using ambient light, thanks to new LED arrays that can both emit and detect light.Made of tiny nanorods arrayed in a thin film, the LEDs could enable new interactive functions and multitasking devices. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Dow Electronic Materials in Marlborough, Massachusetts, report the advance in the ...

Whilst emitters in UVB wavelengths (280-315nm) are primarily used in medical technology, applications of UVC LEDs (200-280nm) include:

The optoelectronics portfolio at Vishay Intertechnology has been expanded with the introduction of a new high speed silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity for visible light. Offered in a compact 5 mm by 4 mm top-view, surface-mount package with a low 0.9 mm profile, the Vishay Semiconductors VEMD5080X01 offers fast switching times and low capacitance for precise signal detection in wearable devices and medical, industrial, and automotiv...

Exhibiting at this year’s ICE shows in Munich and Orlando, GEW will be presenting the latest releases of their line of specialist UV curing systems for the coating and converting industries.Both events will be an opportunity to update the professionals on the full range of UV equipment for use with coating and converting machinery supplied by the British manufacturer.

300 Intersil ‘Flower Power’ light-sensing reference design boards will be given away by distributor Future Electronics at Embedded World 2017 in Nuremberg ( March 14-16). The Flower Power reference design board will be demonstrated live at the show and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the San Francisco Summer of Love.

The 'More than Moore' market research and strategy consulting company, Yole has released a new technology and market report focused on Bulk GaN substrate, titled 'Bulk GaN Substrate Market'.

A group of researchers at Waseda University has developed processes and materials for ultrathin stick-on electronic devices using elastomeric "nanosheet" film, achieving ease of production while also preserving high elasticity and flexibility fifty times better than previously reported polymer nanosheets.This research is published in theJournal of Materials Chemistry Conline edition.

Powersolve just introduced desk-top “mini” uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that provide back-up power in the event of an AC mains failure. The compact PUPS22 & PUPS44 UPS’s works from a 12VDC input using any approved 12V AC-DC plug-top charger capable of powering the load and with enough output power to charge the internal batteries.

Physicists at the University of Cincinnati are working to harness the power of nanowires, microscopic wires that have the potential to improve solar cells or revolutionisefibreoptics.Nanotechnology has the potential to solve the bottleneck that occurs in storing or retrieving digital data - or could store data in a completely new way. UC professors and their graduate students presented their research at the March 13 conference of the American Phy...
