Atlas Roofing announces an enhanced solar reflectivity performance across its Pinnacle® Sun shingle line, delivering ...

When designing a building façade, architects and owners must determine the necessary level of glass transparency. Some ...

Ultrahigh-reflectance mirrors are essential optical elements of the most sophisticated optical instruments devised over the entire frequency spectrum. In the X-ray regime, super-polished mirrors with ...

Scientists in Hong Kong have demonstrated a new ultra-white ceramic material that can drastically cool buildings by reflecting sunlight and heat at record highs. The beetle-inspired material gets its ...

Figure 1: Calculated peak reflectivity, interaction length and reflection energy bandwidth for X-rays in Bragg backscattering from diamond for all allowed reflections with Bragg energies E H up to 30 ...

Two weeks ago, I talked about an introduction to radar and how it works on a basic level. This time, we are looking into radar reflectivity specifically, the most popular product of weather radar.

Engineers have found a way to make liquid metals switch between reflective surfaces or those that scatter light. The transition only requires a small zap of electricity and could be used to make ...

Precipitation intensity is measured by a ground-based radar that bounces radar waves off of precipitation. The Local Radar base reflectivity product is a display of echo intensity (reflectivity) ...

Observations confirmed that dark coating can reduce satellite reflectivity by half. There are concerns that numerous artificial satellites in orbit could impair astronomical observations, but these ...
