Discover the science behind seeing your reflection in water. Light travels in straight lines and bounces off smooth surfaces, ...

1. The reflection of light from the surfaces of many kinds of leaves has been measured by means of a direct reading spectrophotometer, the measurements being made normal (that is, at an angle of 90⚬ ...

Light collection efficiency is an important factor that affects the performance of many optical and optoelectronic devices. In these devices, the high reflectivity of interfaces can hinder efficient ...

Surface reflection, a critical property for solar panels and smartphones as well as other screen-based technologies, is closely related to the surface structure of the material concerned. A project at ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A key hurdle in realizing high-efficiency, cost-effective solar energy technology is the low efficiency of current power cells. In order to achieve maximum efficiency when ...

Self-reflection, different from just thinking, connects past experiences with present and future. It includes layers like surface reflection and deeper insights. Regular, thoughtful practice, ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...

A Microsoft patent application for a new type of display was discovered and it looks like something that might one day change the way consumers interact with touchscreen Surface devices. Originally ...

Microscan, a global manufacturer and pioneer of auto ID solutions from the world’s first laser diode barcode scanner to the Data Matrix symbol, announces the availability of new Polarizer and Diffuser ...
