Sentences with phrase «produce patterns of light»

Optical and computer techniques were then used to compare the restored photos with the faded paintings to produce patterns of light that compensated for the damage, returning the original colours to the murals without further harm.

Not exact matches

They find that a spinning naked singularity turns out to be a strong gravitational lens, magnifying the light from background stars more than an ordinary black hole and producing a distinctive pattern of images.

When a gravitational wave moves through the detector, though, it should stretch one arm of LIGO while shortening the other, changing the path of the beams and causing the rejoined waves to produce a detectable pattern of light.

All they had to do was record the diffraction patterns that were produced when pulses of ultrabright x-ray light traveled through the particle, and they'd get a snapshot of the molecule or organism.

Instead of producing a banded pattern, the whole waveguide lights up.

Theory on resolution of parental conflict over care provides a framework to explain how such a pattern may emerge: when, for the same cost to the parents, the benefits derived by the offspring produced from the care of each parent are unequal, then the parents contributing less in absolute terms (the lighter females) may not be able to compensate.

Working at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray laser at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the scientists then used a newly designed injection system, engineered by a team from Arizona State University, to stream the gel into the path of the X-ray pulses, which hit the crystals and produced patterns used to reconstruct a high - resolution, 3 - D model of the receptor.

In the double - slit experiment, a beam of light passes through the two slits and produces an interference pattern on a detector screen — a pattern of light and dark bands.

And, as if this were not enough, he also began his investigation of the nature of light, discovering and naming the spectrum, the rainbow pattern of colours produced when white light passes through a prism.

This pattern, basically a curling in the polarization, or orientation, of the light, can be created only by gravitational waves produced by inflation.

The Stanford team tested their technology on a custom - made solar absorber — a device that mimics the properties of a solar cell without producing electricity — covered with a micron - scale pattern designed to maximize the capability to dump heat, in the form of infrared light, into space.

Like all other molecules, carbon dioxide molecules absorb only certain colors of light, producing a unique pattern of dark features in the spectrum.

Photons of light behave not only like particles but also like waves, producing interference patterns when sent through gratings.

According to the researchers, this pattern is the result of stellar debris colliding with itself (which produces bursts of optical and UV light), and heating up just before being swallowed by the black hole (which gives off X-ray flares).
