The way leaves reflect light, known as plant reflectance spectra, can illuminate the evolutionary history of seed plants, according to researchers. The researchers found that by measuring the light ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...

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

Through the looking glass: Scientists at the City University of New York (CUNY) created a "mirror" that can reflect an electromagnetic wave backward in time. It is not the first time this has been ...
