Deep UV-C radiation can clean air from microbes.


"Far-UVC light has proven highly effective in real-world settings at inactivating over 99% of airborne viruses in occupied spaces, as demonstrated by a Columbia University study, offering a practical and continuous disinfection solution that could surpass conventional ventilation systems in preventing airborne disease transmission. This technology, safe for human exposure, represents a significant advancement over traditional germicidal UVC methods, which require empty spaces to operate.

Deep ultraviolet radiation destroys viruses from the air. That thing can help to control pandemics. Authorities can use Deep UV-C light to destroy things, like viruses in houses and quarantine areas. The UV-C light gives a cheap and effective way to destroy micro-organisms from layers and air. That thing will help to keep organisms away from offices and other places. The UV-radiation is most effective against viruses that have no chance to protect their genomes outside the cell. 

The researchers can use deep UV-C radiation. Along with ultraviolet lasers to destroy microorganisms from all layers. And that thing can used to sterilize food. 

Because radiation kills bacteria and viruses that prevent things like food poisoning. The fact is that the UV-C dose must be high enough that it destroys bacteria and viruses. If the radiation dose is too low that thing makes the bacteria and virus population more resistant to the UV-C radiation.

In the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site, the animals created protection against cancer and radioactive radiation simple way. Radiation destroyed all animals that couldn't resist cancer. The high radiation level removed all individuals that couldn't resist cancer. And that left only animals that could resist cancer alive. That thing caused the situation that the cancer-resistant genomes enriched in the population. This means that animals can create resistance against cancer and radioactive fallout. 

When we think of virus populations. Too low a UV-C dose can cause a situation in which only viruses that can resist the UV radiation are left. That means that only those UV-C-resistant viruses are left to cause infections. 

The resistance against antibiotics forms in a similar way. Antibiotics destroy individuals who cannot resist it. And only the individuals that can resist antibiotics are left. This is the reason why researchers investigate ways to replace antibiotics in large-scale sterilization operations. If the antibiotic dose is too small the bacteria can create resistance against it. The problem is that the UV radiation dose acts the same way as antibiotics. If the dose is too small, the creature can turn resistant against it.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later".
