Artificial intelligence (AI) can use a person's brainwaves to see around corners and create images of objects the human eye can not directly see.
Using a digital X-ray detector, this video shows exactly what goes on inside a zoom lens as the ring is turned, revealing the mechanics that are responsible for moving the optical elements inside.
Astrophysicists have successfully observed light coming from behind a black hole. This observation is the first of its kind and proves Albert Einstein's theory that huge objects can warp space since no light can pass through a black hole and come out the other side.
The Canon 65mm f/0.75 is a rare lens that was designed for X-Ray imaging, and it's one of the fastest lenses ever made. Photographer and weird lens tester Mathieu Stern got his hands on one and decided to see what using the lens is like for both photos and videos.
