Researchers developed a novel tunable ultrasonic liquid crystal light diffuser that allows changing the diffusion direction It is no mystery that light is essential to human life. Since the discovery ...

New study finds volatile gases emitted by forests increase the amount of diffuse light reaching the forests. The study shows that this increased diffuse sunlight enhanced the carbon absorbed by the ...

I TOOK advantage of a recent opportunity to make some observations on polarisation of the diffused light in sea-water, using a detector consisting of four quartz prisms made up on the De Senarmont ...

Scientists gain an insight into the fascinating world of atoms and molecules using x-ray microscopes. Ground-breaking research by physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), ...

Recent research has shown that plants help themselves grow by releasing volatile organic compounds. These chemicals form a mist of aerosols above the vegetation that blocks some of the direct light ...

Scientists are tapping into photographs taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to reliably measure the amount of light pollution worldwide. This study not only includes the ...

To the eye the zodiacal light looks like an enormous, wedge-shaped pillar of diffuse light slanting upward from the eastern horizon and extending halfway up the sky. The faint "finger" of the zodiacal ...

The Light + Energy Lab is a space designed for light manipulation to simulate sunlight effects on architectural models. This can be done using our two primary tools – the Diffuse Sky Simulator and the ...
