Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

An established tool for the authentication and conservation of fine art paintings, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) typically requires the removal of small sample sections for analysis.

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

In this interview, Sue Berets, the Applications Scientist at Harrick Scientific, talks to AZoM about specular reflectance measurements and the difference between absolute and relative. Please tell us ...

A research team led by SUTD has created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics. For decades, ...

A research team has developed a new hybrid artificial intelligence framework that can accurately estimate leaf nitrogen ...

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 ...
