Astrophysicists have developed a new method for calculating the effect of Rayleigh scattering on photons, potentially allowing researchers to better understand the formation of the Universe.

Scattering in media has unique inherent randomness. Fiber Rayleigh scattering is one of the typical scattering effects. The exploration and understanding of the characteristics of fiber Rayleigh ...

Jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney says that its long-standing research collaboration with Virginia Tech has resulted in a new technology for calculating engine thrust, using ultraviolet lasers and ...

(a), The graphical abstract of the work: The PNCs/PS nanocomposite is fabricated through a two-type ligand strategy, which is proper to serve as LGP in LCD-related application based on the Rayleigh ...

ABSTRACT The combustion propagation mechanism of homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion was investigated using planar laser Rayleigh scattering thermometry, and was compared to that of ...

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — You may have noticed vibrant skies Tuesday night after the rain moved out. These colorful hues are caused by a process called Rayleigh Scattering. When we have direct sunlight, ...

Real sunlight is a beautiful thing, but due to the vagaries of Earth’s orbit and local weather systems, it’s not available all the time. [Matt] decided this wasn’t good enough, and set about building ...
