A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the rules of optical imaging, ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

Engineers unlock the power of exceptional points (EPs) for advanced optical sensing. EPs -- specific conditions in systems where extraordinary optical phenomena can occur -- can be deployed on ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Anatomically, the human eye is like a sophisticated tentacle that reaches out from the brain, with the retina acting as the tentacle’s tip and touching everything the person sees. Evolution worked a ...

Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor ...

SPADs employ an avalanche process to generate significant current from a single photon. That results in higher power ...

A new bio-inspired sensor can recognise moving objects in a single frame from a video and successfully predict where they will move to. This smart sensor, described in a Nature Communications paper, ...

Detecting wavelengths beyond visible light—for instance, infrared light—offers clear advantages. Case in point is cameras in autonomous vehicles that ‘see’ through smoke or fog and cameras that unlock ...
