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.

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.
Two Stanford researchers have found widespread use of fake Linkedin accounts created with artificial intelligence-generated (AI) profile photos. These profiles target real users in an attempt to increase interest in certain companies before passing the successful leads to a real salesperson.
Researchers from Cornell University have designed a photo-taking robot that understands aesthetically pleasing composition. It already excels at photos for Real Estate or AirBNB, but could be trained to use its skills anywhere.
A groundbreaking research project at Heriot-Watt University promises a new camera technology that can affordably deliver millions of frames per second capture in high resolution.
Researchers have created a new type of COVID-19 test that transforms an ordinary smartphone camera into a virus detector. The system could one day allow for cheap and accurate at-home COVID testing.
If it seemed like the footage of deep-sea creatures has been more spectacular lately, that is because it is. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) recently updated its deep-sea camera to capture 4K footage at incredible depths.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has published a new video that features what it describes as a weird and wonderful deep-sea creature. This "psychedelic" jellyfish is one of the most colorful residents of the ocean's midnight zone.
Taxonomy was once the domain of white-coated scientists with years of university training. While this expertise is still important, everyday Australians are increasingly helping to identify species through citizen science apps. Rapid advances in smartphone and tablet cameras are helping to popularize this activity.
In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have spotted at least 70 -- but potentially up to 170 -- new "rogue" planets floating by themselves in space thanks to wide-field images gathered from satellites and other facilities across the globe.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) recently spotted an exceedingly rare find: a barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma). This strange deep-sea dweller has a transparent head it sees through with its tubular eyes.
Researchers from Stanford University's Computational Imaging Lab have developed a novel method of non-line-of-sight imaging. They call it keyhole imaging because the contents of a room can be captured from a single point as small as a keyhole.
Researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) recently captured footage of a giant phantom jellyfish. Sightings are exceedingly rare, and this species has only been seen nine times over thousands of dives.
Photographer and filmmaker Jan van IJken's photo series and film peers into the unseen world of one of the most important lifeforms on Earth: plankton.
Spirit photography was an important development within bereavement rituals of the early 1860s.
Saildrone and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have released the first video footage gathered by an unmanned surface drone (USV) from inside a major hurricane while it moved across the Atlantic Ocean.
Photo enhancing in movies and TV shows is often ridiculed for being unbelievable, but research in real photo enhancing is actually creeping more and more into the realm of science fiction. Just take a look at Google's latest AI photo upscaling tech.
Scientists have captured the first-ever images of a giant tortoise hunting, killing, and eating a bird. The "gentle giants" were previously believed to be herbivores.
Photographs contain "layers of mind." That's according to a new study, which found that people are considered to be "less real" and have "less mind" when they're seen in photos of photos rather than photos themselves.
Well, you finally did it. After months of thinking about it, pining over the pictures and recommendations of others on social media, and constantly inflating your budget, someone’s got a new camera. But after spending all that time thinking about your new purchase, you neglected to put any serious thought into what to do with your used camera gear. So where do you start?.
You don’t need to have a portfolio of hundreds of thousands of images to rank on the first page of the most visited customer queries. In fact, we found that 83% of Shutterstock contributors that rank on the first page of top-500 customer queries have less than 10,000 images in their portfolio.
Vision Research has announced a new "entry-level" slow-motion camera, the Phantom TMX 5010. While considered an entry-level system, the TMX 5010 can still push up to 1.16 million frames per second.
In photojournalism, where and how people get their news matters. A quick takeaway of Reuters Digital News Report 2021 shows that the news market is exploding into a multitude of topic-specific verticals and various mediums at the same time.
Researchers from the University of Washington have developed a way to use smartphone photos to identify potentially harmful bacteria on skin and in the mouth. The method can visually identify microbes on the skin that contribute to acne as well as those that cause gingivitis and dental plaques.
Researchers from the University of Ottawa have developed a concept that would reduce the size of lenses by a huge margin and effectively eliminate the size of modern optics if combined with a metalens. The team tackled not lens elements themselves, but instead the space between them.
A group of international robotics researchers has developed an urban search and rescue solution that skirts past the current limitations of miniature robotics through what they are calling an insect computer hybrid system, which fuses a living insect platform with a microcontroller.
An urban history expert recently purchased vintage photos of New York City on eBay and followed several clues that led him to determine the exact month and year the images were taken.
A research paper released by the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the Council on Criminal Justice's Taskforce on Policing shows that body-worn cameras are both "beneficial and cost-effective."
A group of researchers from EPFL's Audiovisual Communications Laboratory had a unique opportunity to investigate some of the very first color photographs ever made, which were originally produced by scientist and inventor Gabriel Lippmann.
Over the past decade, selfies have become a mainstay of popular culture. If the #selfie hashtag first appeared in 2004, it was the release of the iPhone 4 in 2010 that saw the pictures go viral. Three years later, the Oxford English Dictionary crowned “selfie” word of the year.

If you often find yourself in Zoom meetings in which others on the call don't need to see your face, you now have a great excuse for leaving your camera off: it can help save the environment.
According to Fujitsu, Canon Inc. has just placed an order for one of its ultra-powerful PRIMEHPC FX1000 supercomputers with the goal of turning their product development cycle into a "no-prototype" affair where things like impact, functionality, and airflow tests can be run on CAD designs instead of real products.
