Astronomers used NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the International Gemini Observatory to discover a distant, lonely galaxy that has assimilated its former nearby galaxies, essentially having cannibalized its neighbors.
One of the first images the James Webb Space Telescope ever captured was only possible thanks to a gravitational lens. Its latest is another example of this phenomenon, this time featuring a galaxy called the Cosmic Seahorse.
Canon Inc. has announced the development of the MS-500, the world's first ultra-high-sensitivity interchangeable-lens camera (ILC) featuring a Type 1 Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) image sensor.
While most photographers are used to capturing what their camera sees, an acoustic camera captures what it hears. Well-known YouTube science personality and educator Steve Mould's newest video explores acoustic cameras and how they can "see sound."
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.
There aren't many good photos of Venus, and even fewer have been captured from the planet's surface. Distance alone can't explain the relative lack of pictures of Earth's second-nearest neighbor.
Now in its sixth year, the tenth data release from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys now covers half the sky and totals a petabyte of data combined from three separate telescopes.
The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) has announced the finalists of its inaugural Woman Science Photographer of the Year competition at an awards ceremony hosted by the RPS in Bristol, United Kingdom.
A new panoramic image captured by the Dark Energy Camera Plane Survey (DECaPS2) has revealed a staggering 3.32 billion celestial objects, which is arguably the largest such catalog released so far.
With a calculated blending of photography, science, and practical effects, photographer Scott Portingale captures and presents dynamic images of macro worlds and chemical reactions all within a square inch of a petri dish.
Scientists have recorded penguins examining themselves in a mirror while displaying signs of self-awareness.
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).
Most digital cameras from the 2000s and 2010s are equipped with an optical element called an optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing (AA) or blur filter. As the name "filter" suggests, this optical element filters out some information coming from the imaged scene.
In an artful blending of science and photography, Zac Henderson’s abstract photo series Dark Matter III features mixed textures, vibrant colors, and intriguing angles.
The black-naped pheasant-pigeon, a large, ground-dwelling pigeon that only lives on one island, has been documented by scientists for the first time since its 1882 discovery and has been captured on camera for the first time ever.
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a super-fast camera that is capable of recording footage of the electrical impulses that travel through nerve cells.
Researchers have shown that smartphone cameras are capable of detecting blood oxygen saturation levels down to 70%, which is the lowest value that dedicated pulse oximeters should be able to measure as recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
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 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.
New research on Antarctica found in two separate studies that reference multiple optical and radar satellite sensors has revealed that the ice loss in Antarctica is much worse than previous estimates.
Thanks to new 3D radio and optical mapping, scientists have published more information on a phenomenon called a "gigantic jet," which is a massive electrical discharge that exits the top of a thunderstorm and connects with the lower edge of space.
Scientists have, for the first time, recorded a millimeter-wavelength light explosion caused by the merging of a neutron star with another star.
Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a stamp-sized sticker that can provide live, high-resolution ultrasound images of the heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
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.
Scientists have discovered a series of mysterious and seemingly "human-made" holes 1.6 miles (2,540m) below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean -- holes that have left them "stumped" for answers.
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.
July 20, International Moon Day, marked the 53rd anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. To celebrate, NASA released a video that revisits the mission's landing point on the Moon to reveal the astronaut's tracks are still there after all this time.
