Arable land is at an all-time premium. Since the last ice age, humans have cleared one-third of the earth’s forests and two-thirds of its wild grasslands, much of it for agriculture. And as the world ...

US scientists have discovered that using wavelength-selective, semi-transparent PV modules to absorb the blue light spectrum while transmitting red light onto crops can increase crop yield. “Today’s ...

How can we measure visible light? The electromagnetic spectrum includes all forms of light energy, known as electromagnetic radiation. (1) Different types of electromagnetic radiation such as radio ...

Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

The photosynthetic pigments of phototrophic microorganisms cover different regions of the solar light spectrum. Utilization of the light spectrum can be interpreted in terms of classical niche theory, ...

Our little-known ability to see infrared light could occur when pairs of photons combine their energies to appear as one "visible" photon Although we do not have X-ray vision like Superman, we have ...
