Solar filters emit a red light over tomato plants growing in a research field at UC Davis in 2022. The work further tests the findings of a UC Davis study showing plants in agrivoltaic systems respond ...
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 ...
Researchers at Kyushu University and partner institutions have created a solid material that converts ordinary visible ...
Blue light has acquired a dubious reputation in recent years, frequently blamed for everything from disrupted sleep patterns to digital eye strain. This high-energy light, emitted abundantly by our ...
Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...
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 ...
An agrivoltaics study shows how harvesting the light spectrum can make growing food and clean energy more efficient. People are increasingly trying to grow both food and clean energy on the same land ...
