I've recently learned that some glassware contains uranium dioxide and will glow under ultraviolet light. And that they're collectible. For giggles, I used my UV Beast to illuminate some bowls at a house I'm cleaning out. They are not at all yellow/green in normal light. Are they glowing enough? #uranium #fluorescence #uvlight #physics #chemistry #glass
Scientists developed a method for purifying #proteins from cell extracts or cultures using short-wave #UVlight, which is invisible to humans. The technique is more efficient and gentler than previous methods: http://go.tum.de/385699

Lets hit off the final #FursuitFriday of 2024 with one of my most favourite photos of this year!

Michigan's Yooperlites are actually syenite rocks, rich in minerals such as sodalite, which emit a bright orange or yellowish glow when exposed to UV light.
Thanks for the tip Sara M!

If you have a neat little knowledge nugget you'd like to see as a daily science fact, please send them on in. We'd love to hear from you!
Many bird species not only see in ultraviolet (UV) light, but have intricate patterns on their feathers that serve various purposes including communication, camouflage, mate selection, and navigation.
It's #bloom season! #Trees, #flowers, and veggies are making blossoms, ranging from exuberantly colorful to barely visible "green on green."
If you happen to have a #UV light, let's say a 365nm Wood's lamp your vet recommended because you can not resist collecting feral cats, go out at night and look at plant blossoms under the UV light.
While many plants will close their blossoms tightly over night, plenty don't.
I may or may not put up a pic or two at some point ...
Reindeer vision may have evolved to spot favorite food in the snowy dark of winter

Reindeer and the quest for Scottish enlichenment https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20416695231218520
"#reindeer eyes change between summer and winter... they see the winter world as a shade of #purple, similar to how a person would see a room with a black light... the answer is tied to what #UVlight doesn't reflect from—C. rangiferina and other bushy #lichens."

In my continued war on Tobacco Hornworms I’ve found success using UV light to detect much smaller under 1 inch worms just starting to feast but more importantly single eggs mostly spotted on the underside of leaves. Last night along with over a dozen eggs and 4 inch long worms I spotted much smaller babies, including this barely millimeter long guy just emerging. #TobaccoHornWorm #Pests #Worms #UVLight #Tomato #Gardening #Garden #GrowYourOwn #DIY #Hunting #Insects
