Sunlight-mediated inactivation of health-relevant microorganisms in water: a review of mechanisms and modeling approaches. [PDF]
Health-relevant microorganisms present in natural surface waters and engineered treatment systems that are exposed to sunlight can be inactivated by a complex set of interacting mechanisms.

Algae Living in Salamanders, Friend or Foe? [PDF]
Roughly speaking, our bodies use energy from the sun, but we can\u27t use sunlight directly. Instead, plants and algae collect sunlight and store it as chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Plasmonic Nanostructure Design for Efficient Light Coupling into Solar Cells [PDF]
We demonstrate that subwavelength scatterers can couple sunlight into guided modes in thin film Si and GaAs plasmonic solar cells whose back interface is coated with a corrugated metal film.

The impact of the Kasatochi eruption on the Moon's illumination during the August 2008 lunar eclipse
The Moon's changeable aspect during a lunar eclipse is largely attributable to variations in the refracted unscattered sunlight absorbed by the terrestrial atmosphere that occur as the satellite crosses the Earth's shadow.
