Ray Gun Biology!
What happens when science fiction technology becomes reality? A team of researchers are using a device resembling a futuristic ray gun to record how different plant leaves on Alaskan mountains reflect light. The research will help scientist assess the impact of climate change, by studying how different plants respond to the environment. Learn more at NSF's "The Discovery Files."
