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

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light behaves in surprising and educational ways.

Dermatologists explain the science behind wildly popular treatments like red light therapy, which is now available at home—for a steep price. Full-face LED masks like this one can cost up to several ...

As the nights grow longer and the world feels a little heavier, I find myself turning toward the familiar rhythm of Hanukkah. The simple act of striking a match, watching the wick catch and letting ...

The formation of a rainbow requires the observer to be between the sun and falling rain, with the rain in front and the sun behind. Sunlight passes from behind the observer, refracts as it enters each ...

In this work, an alternative formulation of the laws of refraction of light is presented. The proposed formulation unifies the two established laws of refraction, and it is shown the correspondence ...

As nights have gotten brighter, the list of health problems linked to artificial lighting has gotten longer, from insomnia to cancer. Lighting in urban areas like Chicago (shown) has gotten brighter ...

NANZUKA will soon present a retrospective exhibition on Hajime Sorayama, the renowned Japanese illustrator who’s known for his superrealist artworks featuring sexy robots. Entitled, Light, Reflection, ...

Crystal rays of light, prism refraction, lens flare, crystal glass reflection effect. Prism vector, realistic light leak effect with spectral flare. Bright light banner, poster, template. Royalty-free ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...
