A ray gun-like device helps scientists see plants in a different light
CNN
Researchers used a ray gun-like device, not unlike the tricorder from "Star Trek," to record how plant leaves reflect light. This light is helping scientists understand the genetic diversity of plants so they can protect them as our climate changes.
Not unlike the tricorder used to perform environment scans in "Star Trek," the nifty gadget is a type of spectroradiometer that helps record how plant leaves reflect light differently -- which actually reveals how genetically diverse one plant population is from another.

Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
