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⚬ ...

Moritex has announced the new NPI Series Quartz Rod Line illumination system. Using proprietary technology the NPI system generates an extremely uniform line of light making camera inspection of ...

General Motors has been granted a patent for a system that inspects reflective surfaces using two imaging assemblies. The first captures depth information, while the second gathers contrast data. A ...

Climate change will make heatwaves more common, and continental areas and urban regions that become significantly warmer in summer will be particularly affected. Together with colleagues from ...

Engineers have found a way to make liquid metals switch between reflective surfaces or those that scatter light. The transition only requires a small zap of electricity and could be used to make ...

Researchers show that switching between reflective and scattering states can be achieved with just 1.4 V, about the same voltage used to light a typical LED. Researchers have developed a way to ...
