To learn how planetary spectra can be used to search for life on other worlds and analyze a mystery planet's spectrum for potential signs of life. copy of the "Exploring Spectra" student handout (PDF ...

Although DNA absorption at wavelengths greater than 300 nm is much weaker than that at shorter wavelengths, this absorption seems to be responsible for much of the biological damage caused by solar ...

Journal of Coastal Research, Vol. 17, No. 2 (Spring, 2001), pp. 328-341 (14 pages) In-water absorption and scattering coefficients, and above-water remote-sensing reflectance are tightly linked and, ...

With transient absorption spectroscopy, researchers can investigate excited-state dynamics, enhancing knowledge in photocatalysis and photodynamic applications.
