UV light

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated how tanning beds cause fundamental DNA damage across almost the skin's entire surface that results in a threefold risk of developing melanoma. It puts beyond doubt the dangers of using these devices.

Scientists have developed a fully transparent skin sensor that accurately measures UV radiation, detecting light and converting it to electrical signals. So before the sun's rays reach damaging levels, a phone alert lets users know it's time to cover up.

Scientists have shown that far-UVC lights, which are already commercially available, can rapidly break down common airborne allergens, offering a safe and fast new way to ease asthma and allergy triggers indoors.
