Reflect Orbital plans to launch thousands of reflective mirrors to produce "sunlight on demand", but researchers are ...

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

The way leaves reflect light can illuminate the evolutionary history of seed plants, according to an international team of scientists led by a University of Maine researcher. Plant reflectance spectra ...

It was a dark and stormy night. (I've always wanted to start off with that line.) You were driving home from work. The rain had finally stopped, but the roads were wet and shiny, making it difficult ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...

How does color work, and how does the type of light source you use affect the colors you see? Appliance Science looks at the science of light and color. Richard Baguley Richard Baguley has been ...

Two separate teams of scientists have built the thinnest mirrors in the world: sheets of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), each just a single atom wide. The mirrors were developed at the same time at ...

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 ...
