Dual Comb Spectroscopy proved its versatile capabilities in molecular fingerprinting different spectral regions, but not yet the ultraviolet (UV). Unlocking this window would expand to electronic energy structure of matter.This will access prime triggers photo-chemical reactions with unprecedented resolution. In research article, we discuss milestones marking way first UV dual comb spectrometer...

Most azobenzene-based photoswitches use UV light for photoisomerization. This can limit their application in biological systems, where UV light can trigger unwanted responses, including cellular apoptosis. We have found that substitution of all four ortho positions with methoxy groups in an amidoazobenzene derivative leads to a substantial (~35 nm) red shift of the n-π* band of the trans isomer...

a facile mechanochemical-based method for synthesis of copper oxide (cuo) nanoparticles is here by introduced. for this purpose, copper hydroxide powder was synthesized through a facile solution method (cuso4 + 2 na(oh) → cu(oh)2 + na2so4) after which milling of as-prepared cu(oh)2 precursor and nacl resulted in the mechanochemical dehydration of cu(oh)2 and dispersion of cuo nanoparticles into...

patients with keratoconus constitute a large proportion of patients suffering from anterior segment disorders. as of this time, however, its pathogenesis has not yet been elucidated. a reduction in cross-link between collagen molecules has been observed in keratoconic eyes as compared to normal ones. present approaches only address refractive errors resulting from the abnormal abnormal corneal ...

purpose : to compare the protection of eyes against visible light (vl) and ultraviolet radiation (uvr) by sunglasses available through the iranian optician trade ::::union:::: (iotu) shops and those provided by miscellaneous vendors. methods : totally, 353 pairs of sunglasses, including 188 pairs from iotu shops and 165 pairs from miscellaneous vendors were selected based on systematic random s...
