A momentary gleam of starlight could reveal alien construction to the next generation of telescopes, a recent paper suggests. We’ve all experienced it: the glint of sunlight bouncing off a car ...

Glints of light from specular reflection of the Sun are a technosignature of artificial satellites. If extraterrestrial intelligences have left artifacts in the solar system, these may include flat ...

Peculiar flat regions on Saturn’s moon Titan could be the dry floors of ancient lakes and seas. The suggestion, published June 16 in Nature Communications, may solve a 20-year-old mystery. Starting in ...

Image reflection removal has emerged as a pivotal area in computer vision, addressing the challenge of disentangling the true scene (transmission layer) from undesired specular reflections when ...

Eyestrain, often attributed to glare or specular reflection, can significantly affect our screen viewing experience. To mitigate this issue, a common approach involves the use of upper polarizers for ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...
