A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

Using data collected by the VIIRS sensor aboard the Suomi NPP satellite, NOAA has created a map of the world's vegetation. James Martin is the Managing Editor of Photography at CNET. His photos ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that ...

A scene straight out of a horror movie greeted researchers when they shined lights on a dark Georgia swamp and saw hundreds of red eyes staring back, photos show. Researchers have uncovered the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – University at Buffalo computer scientists have developed a tool that automatically identifies deepfake photos by analyzing light reflections in the eyes. The tool proved 94% effective ...

In the days of old, back when television was solely recorded on a thing called “film,” the cinematographer was known as a kind of fortune-teller/ magician who could mysteriously read the light in the ...

A LIGHT wave, when reflected 1 at the surface of separation of two media, may be altered in amplitude, or wavelength, or phase. Whilst, however, a change of amplitude or wave-length produces an ...

Whether in photosynthesis or in a photovoltaic system: if you want to use light efficiently, you have to absorb it as completely as possible. However, this is difficult if the absorption is to take ...

In space, light will go on, and on, and on… In a windowless room, where does the light go when we switch it off? Light is a pretty simple beast. In lieu of any interference, it will go on, and on, and ...

Welcome to science world! Today, we're going to have a look at a particular type of wave - a light wave. Who knew so many different things travelled in waves? A light wave travels faster than anything ...
