The North Atlantic right whale is among the most endangered whale species in the world. Per the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), fewer than 340 North Atlantic right whales are left. Given the relatively expansive range of North Atlantic right whales, researchers must utilize many different technologies to find and monitor whales, including thermal cameras.

Marc Tessier-Lavigne, who has been president of Stanford University for seven years, has resigned after proof that he digitally altered and falsified images in his research papers was revealed by a student journalist.

An international team of scientists has captured the first observational evidence showing that two planets can share the same orbit around a star.

In an attempt to experiment with the idea of using biological materials to store digital data, researchers have created a method where they were able to capture light patterns -- photos -- and store them onto DNA.

Researchers in Hawaii are using drone cameras to study the ages of dolphins in free-ranging groups to better understand their populations and therefore better inform conservation efforts.

A research team from the University of Maryland has developed an artificial intelligence-powered (AI) method to reconstruct complex scenes and objects in 3D using only the reflections in a person's eye.

Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have published a study that describes a brain-computer interface that can decode continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings. In other words, an interface that can decode someone's thoughts into a word sequence.

An international team of scientists has discovered three new underwater hydrothermal vents over a 434-mile-long stretch of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that showcases a fascinating "city" that is teeming with life.

Researchers from the University of Sheffield in England have developed a relatively affordable sulfur dioxide (SO2) camera that may help predict volcanoes, providing essential warnings to nearby communities and facilitating earlier evacuation and preparation.

Researchers from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and scientists from Japan have recorded a fish swimming at a depth of more than eight kilometers (about five miles), setting a record for the deepest fish ever caught on camera.

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.

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.
