    Applying force to oobleck, by sound waves in this case, makes the non-Newtonian fluid thicken. [21] An inexpensive, non-toxic example of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch (e.g., cornstarch/cornflour) in water, sometimes called "oobleck", "ooze", or "magic mud" (1 part of water to 1.5–2 parts of corn starch).

    For example, ultraviolet light, even in the non-ionizing range, can produce free radicals that induce cellular damage, and can be carcinogenic. Photochemistry such as pyrimidine dimer formation in DNA can happen through most of the UV band, including much of the band that is formally non-ionizing.

  9. Non-proteinogenic amino acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-proteinogenic_amino_acids

    Some non-α-amino acids exist in organisms. In these structures, the amine group is displaced further from the carboxylic acid end of the amino acid molecule. Thus a β-amino acid has the amine group bonded to the second carbon away, and a γ-amino acid has it on the third. Examples include β-alanine, GABA, and δ-aminolevulinic acid.
