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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This sounds out there, but stick with me. Scientists have been able to determine that there is life on Earth by observing the way the moon reflects light from the earth. Obviously, we know there is, ...

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 ...

Researchers demonstrate a new technique for suppressing back reflections of light, leading to better signal quality for sensing and information technology. Researchers demonstrate a new technique for ...

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 ...
