There are many applications which can take advantage of hyperspectral remote sensing. Atmosphere: water vapor, cloud properties, aerosols. Ecology: chlorophyll, leaf water, cellulose, pigmemts, lignin. Geology: mineral and soil types.
electroplating definition A process whereby a thin coat of metal is applied to a material. The process involves placing the material to be coated in a solution containing ions of the metal and then passing an electric current through the system, which causes the ions to adhere to the material.
The history of electroplating (electrodeposition) of precious metals onto lesser metal can be reliably traced back to around 1800. Italian chemist and university professor Luigi Brugnatelli, is considered by many as the first person to utilize gold in the electroplating process.
