The black-white differential is simply the difference ... to detecting small objects in the presence of a background with the same reflective properties (i.e., verifying that a piston ring sits ...

The screen material is some 1,500 times as reflective as white background paper, with many, many round glass beads reflecting the projected background light. Instead of multiple paper, cloth, or ...

It’s common sense: When it’s hot outside, don’t put on a dark shirt—wear white instead ... Stanford wrote a paper on using layers of reflective surfaces of inorganic compounds to reflect ...

This infrared image shows that the P pattern painted with the new radiative white paint is much cooler than the background painted with commercial paint. Xiangyu Li, PhD student of the School of ...

The reflective background is like leucophores (white chromatophores found in some cephalopod species); the motors act like the muscles that control the chromatophores; and the light sensor acts ...

A researcher at Purdue University, Ruan has spent years trying to develop a maximally reflective type of white paint, one that could bounce upwards of 95 percent of the sun’s rays off of any ...

Cities looking to reduce urban heat islands need to find creative ways to cool buildings, and something as simple as super reflective white paint could be a solution. New research led by Xiulin ...

Painting rooftops white or covering them with a reflective coating is the best way to reduce air temperature in a city like London during a heatwave. These “cool roofs” should perform better ...
