A research group has manipulated light through its interaction with a metal surface so that it exhibits entirely new properties.

Dust-on-snow is a major threat to water in the Colorado River, yet no snowmelt forecasts integrate dust-accelerated melt. Using pioneering remote sensing techniques, new research is the first to ...

The algae that grows on patches of ice in Antarctica alters the albedo — or the ice's reflectivity — enough to make the ...

The Colorado River system is the lifeblood of the southwest, delivering water to 40 million people across the United States ...

The sun may rise every morning, but the amount of sunlight reaching Earth's surface can substantially vary over decades, according to a perspective article led by an international research team.

The last few years have seen some of the smallest sea ice coverage, plus a look into the continued spring melt on the ...

Arizona State Sun Devils superstar running back Cam Skattebo became a household name among college football fans with his incredible performance in the College Football Playoffs opening round ...

“Albedo refers to the measure of the reflectivity of a surface or material. It is the ratio of reflected solar energy to the total incoming solar radiation. Surfaces with a high albedo, like ...

Nature Research Intelligence Topics enable transformational understanding and discovery in research by categorising any document into meaningful, accessible topics. Read this blog to understand ...

temperature reductions attributed to increased pavement albedo (light reflection, rather than absorption) resulted in more than $90 million per year in savings. Reflective pavement also reduces ...

Non-invasive techniques can provide important clues for early diagnosis. Objectives: To highlight the characteristic imaging changes of ACD under dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), ...
