Clearing the air

Abstract: In thick fog, turning your headlights onto full beam won't help you to see more clearly, as the light is merely scattered into a bright blur. The problem is, although fog droplets absorb very little light, they scatter it confusingly. Daedalus believes that infrared imaging could be the way out, and DREADCO physicists are currently trying to find the exact wavelength (around 11 μm) at which fog will be transparent.
