Found in the forests of Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and Eastern Australia, birds of paradise are famous for flashy feathers ...

As early as the seventeenth century, fluorspar was found to emit light when heated, and gave its name to the fluorescence phenomenon. In 1886, the French chemist Henri Moissan electrolysed a ...

Although it is not a fluorescence technique, second harmonic generation (SHG) is another nonlinear optical phenomenon, well known in physics and chemistry, which could have a major impact in ...

Birds of paradise, already famous for their spectacular courtship displays, reveal a new astonishing facet: their ability to ...

A new study has unveiled a high-resolution, hourly solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) dataset designed to monitor ...

This phenomenon, observed using specialized photography techniques, is mainly present in males, particularly in areas used during courtship displays. Females, on the other hand, show more discreet ...

Biofluorescence is widespread in birds-of-paradise, a group of tropical birds famous for their spectacular courtship dances.

Fluorescence is a phenomenon in which illuminated materials emit light of a different wavelength to the incident light. Fluorescence microscopes create an image from the distribution of this emitted ...

Because fluorescence phenomena at multiple wavelengths can be measured simultaneously, even very-low fluorescence can be detected and measured with high efficiency, a feature not available with ...

New research by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln reports, for the ...
