At the heart of the team's work is combining simulations in fundamental physics — including diffraction (
scattering of light from interfaces), laser design (to approximate threshold currents at which a laser turns on), and materials science (designing and developing the multilayer ITO film).
Scientists from Brazil, China and Italy have developed a model to map out the phases in which silica (SiO2) transforms into coesite rock, by analyzing how the
inelastic scattering of light among molecules changes according to pressure variation.
That's because much of the colour fade from washing isn't the result of dye loss but
increased scattering of light reflected from damaged and disordered fibres.
But we also included parameters to account
for scattering of light at interfaces, which tends to be ignored in the transmission matrix method and VCSEL analysis.»
During sunrise and sunset, sunlight is attenuated through rayleigh and
mie scattering of light by a particularly long passage through Earth's atmosphere, and the direct Sun is sometimes faint enough to be viewed directly without discomfort or safely with binoculars.

Multiple Scattering of Light by Particles: Radiative Transfer and Coherent Backscattering.
The absorbance and
scattering of light is determined by the size, shape and material of the nanomaterial and, more importantly, it is also affected by any medium in close proximity to the nanomushroom, such as cells that have been placed on the slide.
When white light passes through the nanoplasmonic slide, the nanomushrooms absorb and
scatter some of the light, changing its properties.
In this film the initial blast and
scattering of light are visible but high humidity obscures the fireball itself.

The scattering of light passing through the atmosphere.
They discovered that
the scattering of light could be compensated for before light ever reached an object.
A technique called micro-Raman spectroscopy, which measures
the scattering of light from a sample, revealed that the carbon in the ink matched samples of other papyrus documents that date from the first to eighth centuries A.D.
Astronomers are able to analyze the composition of the atmosphere of exoplanets like WASP - 19b by observing
the scattering of light from the parent star (Credit: ESO / M.
These cells protect and nourish the retina, remove waste products, prevent new blood vessel growth into the retinal layer, and absorb light not absorbed by the photoreceptor cells; these actions prevent
the scattering of the light and enhance clarity of vision.
