A group of researchers has created a new type of camera microscope that is able to capture gigapixel-scale images of extremely small subjects, allowing for a detailed and unprecedented view of life.
A Penn State-led research team has developed a flat, single-lens telescope that was able to capture clear images of the moon. Known as a metalens, it achieved far greater resolution and imaging distance than any metalens before it.
Researchers have created a new camera that features a shutter speed so fast, it can see atomic structures without blur.
Photography is a powerful tool in storytelling and scientific communication. But it can also cause harm when used unethically.
A humpback whale swam 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) with a broken back that was monitored with drone cameras.
Engineers from the University of South Australia and Baghdad's Middle Technical University have designed a way to measure blood pressure with no physical contact using a camera and artificial intelligence (AI).
A new technology developed by Panasonic is capable of quickly correcting distortion and tilt from only one image. Using the new method, images shot at an angle or those that are distorted by a wide-angle lens can be instantly corrected.
Disney Research Studios has revealed a production-ready face re-aging system for visual effects that can make actors look younger or older easily, accurately, and quickly.
Adobe has previewed a couple of examples of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools that make it possible to push a photo well beyond its original boundaries, both literally and from the perspective of its continued usability.
Two researchers from the University of California, Davis have created a camera that uses a microlens array and new image processing algorithms to capture 3D photos in a single exposure.
Francois Brunelle’s photo project on doppelgangers inspired a team of researchers to study the lookalikes and discovered that it is not just facial similarities they have in common.
Scientists say that their attempts to find exoplanets that could host life -- basically, another Earth -- could be obscured by what they refer to as planetary "photobombers," which could dramatically alter results.
A new study that strapped GoPro cameras to dolphins has captured them eating venomous sea snakes.
Scientists from UCLA are attempting to address issues of privacy by developing a new artificial intelligence (AI) camera that only records specific targets and actively erases everything else.
Scientists have recently trapped and photographed a giant deep-sea isopod -- a giant, underwater cousin of the pillbug -- off the coast of Mexico and after studying it closely, realized that it was an entirely new species.
Scientists from the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) have developed a simple, fast, and energy-efficient method to create a carbon nanostructure made from fish scales that results in a vastly more efficient LED.
Researchers from Samsung Labs have developed a way to create high-resolution avatars, or deepfakes, from a single still frame photo or even a painting.
Scientists from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a camera system that can recognize the colors of the infrared spectrum that doesn't require the converting to the visible spectrum after the fact, a normally costly and time-consuming process.
A dual-shutter vibration-sensing system developed by Carnegie Mellion University (CMU) researchers uses standard, ordinary cameras to see sound vibrations with such precision that it can reconstruct the music made by a single instrument out of a band.
A war in Europe instantly creates parallels with the world wars for people in the UK and other European countries. This connection represents what most people know and are taught about conflict on the continent.
Pretty much any advertising photo of a watch and the face will almost always show the same time: 10:10. Most photographers do this to best show the company logo, but scientists have determined there was a more psychological reason to use this time.
Dragonfish are a species of deep-sea predator and while there are many types of dragonfish, this particular bronze-colored species is incredibly rare.
Due to physical limitations, cameras can only become so small before they simply cannot shrink anymore. But a new lensless camera design could change that.
A pair of Stanford University astrophysicists have proposed a new way to use gravitational lensing that would be up to 1,000 times more precise than current methods. The hope is to use the concept to take better photos of distant planets.
Researchers are using drones in order to study whales in new and inventive ways. Ocean Alliance, a marine conservation organization, is pioneering their use to replace older, more invasive, and more dangerous techniques.
A new nanophotonic light field camera based on the eye of a Cambrian-era sea creature can combine macro and telephoto magnification into one lens with unlimited depth of field.
Compound eyes are a common feature in many insects and for years their vision has been treated as very different from that of mammals. A new study, however, may have found that human eyes might be more like an insect's than previously believed.
Researchers have developed a novel way to give any modern digital camera the ability to calculate depth with a low-power and compact optical device.
Scientists from the University of California at Irvine have developed a camera system that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with an infrared camera to capture full-color photos even in complete darkness.
Photographs are made with the help of light, but what if portraits of people could be made with the sound of their voices? AI researchers have been working on reconstructing the face of a person using only a short audio recording of that person speaking, and the results are eerily impressive.
