Event Overview:
This webinar aims to comprehensively explore transmittance and reflectance measurements for both transparent and non-transparent crystal and thin film materials. Through detailed studies, it will be demonstrated how to accurately estimate the effects of various physical processes, including thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments, on both crystals and thin films. Additionally, this webinar will provide in-depth guidance on estimating the optical band gap of thin films using the Tauc and Kubelka-Munk methods.

IoT-based Spectral Sensing Brings Real-Time Grape Ripeness Monitoring to Vineyards
February 26th 2025A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) in Braga, Portugal, has developed an autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) spectral sensing system designed to monitor grape ripening in real-time. The study, led by Hugo M. Oliveira, Alessio Tugnolo, Natacha Fontes, Carlos Marques, and Álvaro Geraldes, was published in Computers and Electronics in Agriculture and introduces a novel approach to non-destructive, in-situ optical monitoring of grape maturity.
