As measuring translucent materials has endless applications, focus is given to the generic principle of transmission measurement. Measurements of foils, thin film, glass and even liquids in cuvettes ...

The early-stage Californian materials company Translucent is touting a novel approach to gallium nitride (GaN) LED epiwafer design that it claims will offer a route to cheaper solid-state lighting ...

The subtleties in these computer-generated images of translucent materials are important. Texture, color, contrast, and sharpness combine to create a realistic image. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!
