Researchers found that males of iridescent butterfly species approach females producing polarized signals more often when not depolarized. Non-iridescent species show no preference regardless of filter presence. Light bending by genetic scales may influence sexual selection and speciation in tropical forests.
Researchers have developed a method to distinguish between human pollution and natural atmospheric particles using MODIS satellite data. This breakthrough allows for more precise quantification of the role of human aerosols in Earth's weather and climate systems.
The technique uses optical coherence imaging to take real-time video of the insides of tumors, revealing their internal structure. This allows for interactive viewing of living tissues, such as tumors, and enables scientists to study how they behave in real time.
A new ozone-monitoring technology, NEXLASER, is being developed to improve smog forecasting by providing continuous and affordable data in real-time. This innovation uses light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology to track ozone concentration, enabling researchers to better understand sources and sinks of air pollutants.
The UC-SMART program is allocating $1.5 million over four years to support cutting-edge semiconductor research at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Researchers will focus on developing novel materials and devices for optical and electronic applications, including organic chromophores, nanoparticle patterning, self-assembled ...
Researchers have developed a non-invasive optical technique to measure blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain, allowing for simultaneous detection of both blood profusion and neural activity. This breakthrough could lead to new diagnostic, prognostic, and clinical applications.
