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

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

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

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

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 ...

But have you ever wondered why highlighters are so bright? It all boils down to a phenomenon called fluorescence, which is the brightness we see emitted by certain objects when they absorb light.

When Sir George Gabriel Stokes first described the phenomenon of fluorescence in 1852 it is doubtful many people ever considered its potential as a tool for biologists. As often happens with new ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
