Sentences with phrase «infrared wavelengths while»

Now, in a study published in Nature Nanotechnology on January 11th 2016 (online), a team of MIT researchers describes another way to recycle light emitted at unwanted infrared wavelengths while optimizing the emission at useful visible wavelengths.

Not exact matches

Created in collaboration with the world famous football star, Under Armour's Athlete Recovery Sleepwear use bioceramic particles that absorb infrared wavelengths emitted by the body and reflect back far infrared energy, helping the body recover faster while promoting better sleep.

[1] ESO's VISTA telescope observed in the near - infrared wavelength range 0.88 - 2.15 μm while Spitzer performed observations in the mid-infrared at 3.6 and 4.5 μm.

Optic phonons, or crystal vibrations that can be excited with infrared light, can also be used to confine light to dimensions much smaller than the wavelength of light, while maintaining record - high efficiencies.

On the Earth, red - edge appears between red and infrared (IR) wavelengths, since red - light is absorbed for photosynthesis while IR radiation is reflected.

While NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting around Earth, was able to observe the northern auroras in ultraviolet wavelengths, NASA's Cassini spacecraft, orbiting around Saturn, got complementary close - up views in infrared, visible - light and ultraviolet wavelengths.

Optical technologies can finagle light in the shorter - wavelength visible and infrared range, while electromagnetic techniques can manipulate longer - wavelength radiation like microwaves and radio waves.

Different wavelengths of light interact with solar cells in very different ways — with visible light being the most efficient at generating electricity while infrared is more efficient at carrying heat.

Certain infrared wavelengths were blocked while others passed through.

Planetary atmospheres can block certain wavelengths of light, depending on what kind of chemicals they contain, so the fact that one wavelength of infrared radiation is blocked while another passes through can help astronomers understand that there's not only an atmosphere there, but also provide clues as to what it's made of.

While optical instruments can detect the dust when it obscures more distant objects or when it is illuminated by very nearby stars, infrared telescopes are able to register the long - wavelength radiation that the cool dust clouds themselves emit.

The most distant quasars are very red in color, being almost invisible at optical wavelengths while appearing bright in the near - infrared.

The infrared light helped to calm inflammation, while the shorter red wavelengths helped heal the skins surface.

Just as visible light has a range of wavelengths (running from red to violet), so does infrared light: longer wavelength infrared waves are thermal, while short or near infrared waves are not hot at all, in fact, you can not even feel them.

The sun, which is quite hot (about 5800K), emits most of its energy at between 0.2 microns and 4 microns (solar or short wave radiation, or plain sunlight), while the Earth's surface emits the most energy at wavelengths between 5 and 50 microns (the so - called thermal Infrared region of the spectrum).

However, SIM suggests that ultraviolet irradiance fell far more than expected between 2004 and 2007 — by ten times as much as the total irradiance did — while irradiance in certain visible and infrared wavelengths surprisingly increased, even as solar activity wound down overall.

Radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths dissociates atmospheric molecules, initiating chains of chemical reactions — specifically those producing stratospheric ozone — and providing the major source of heating for the middle atmosphere, while radiation at visible and near - infrared wavelengths mainly reaches and warms the lower atmosphere and the Earth's surface1.

Krupp told the Washington Post that the new satellite will be «designed to do one thing way better than anyone's done it,» while project head Tom Ingersoll said the satellite «would use infrared spectrometers and track methane's signature wavelengths and reflection of small packets of light, or photons.»
