ShareTweetPinShareEmailPrint The Bizarre Science of Light Production If we are to understand the science of how LED’s produce light, we first have to understand something quite odd about electrons. Electrons can not do something that seems very simple – have “forbidden” quantities of energy. To think of it as whole numbers, electrons could be at energy […]
ShareTweetPinShareEmailPrintGreenhouse growers and researchers have known for years that a key way to increase yield is through strict temperature regulation of the growing environment. For most species, the effects are clear and fast – control the day and night temperatures and you get less plant stretch, more branches, more flowers, and more fruit. When daytime […]
