The James Webb Space Telescope is capturing photos of the universe in remarkable resolution, but it only has enough onboard storage to keep about a day's worth of photos at a time.

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.

Portable USB-powered displays aren't new but can be very helpful for editors on the move to get access to more screen real estate. Acer’s new model turns things up a notch though and can take a 2D image and make it appear as if it were 3D.

Using conceptual and satirical photographs, a Swedish artist illustrates what he sees as the dark side of society's relationship with technology.

Nikon seems to have put the bad days of 2020 behind it and is accelerating into a new business positive future in which its Imaging Division plays a significant, but not central, role in its financial stability.

The development in metalens technology continues, and researchers have designed a new compact camera that takes high-quality wide-angle photos and eliminates the typical bulk of optics.

Space Perspective, which calls itself a luxury spaceflight experience company, plans to send tourists into Earth's stratosphere by attaching a floating lounge to its giant SpaceBalloon to provide 360-degree views of the edge of space.

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.

Researchers from Australia have reverse engineered the visual system of hoverflies, an insect that feeds on nectar, to detect the acoustic signature of drones from as far as four kilometers away (about 2.5 miles) even in noisy environments.

Leveraging a new type of hydraulic pump, Flowcopter claims that it has created a large drone that is significantly lighter, more robust, lower in cost, and capable of greater range than any other in its segment on the market.

Kenko has announced the new ZXII filters that it claims are the flattest ever produced. Using its "Floating Frame" technology, the company says that distortion is nearly completely eliminated.

Nikon has showcased a new robot vision technology that gives automated assembly methods high speed as well as cognitive ability which leads to far greater flexibility than what is currently available.

The Insta360 team partnered with NewMakeIt to send its tiny ONE X2 action camera high enough into the sky to clearly see the darkness of space and the curvature of the Earth.

Within its half-open, half-closed status, 2021 will be remembered as a transition year: A melting pot between ending lockdowns, …

NASA's soon-to-be-launched James Webb Telescope is set to fly into space this month and begin its tasks of collecting infrared light from the distant corners of the cosmos. But to do so, it needs to get very, very cold.

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.

Samsung has announced that it has created the first-ever "human eye-like" smartphone sensor, the ISOCELL GWB. Featuring RGBW color filter support, Samsung claims it can capture images that are the closest ever to what the human eye sees.

Researchers from Princeton University and the University of Washington have developed a high-resolution, full-color camera that is the size of a grain of salt that is the next generation of metasurface technology.

Apple has announced the Self Service Repair program which it says will allow customers who are comfortable with making their own repairs to access Apple genuine parts and tools.

A team of researchers has found a way to restore sight to the blind by combining a brain implant with a pair of camera glasses.

The SmokeGENIE is a battery-powered, pocketable smoke machine that its creators say is one-tenth the size of a typical smoke machine but can match the output.

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo today unveiled a number of new technologies for smartphone photography, including an 85-200mm continuous optical zoom, a next-gen RGBW sensor, a 5-axis OIS, and a next-gen under-screen camera.

Scientists have been able to capture the real-time electrical activity of a beating heart using a sheet of graphene to record an image. The result is almost like a video camera, and the generated images show the electric fields that trigger a heartbeat.

Google is workong on elevating the virtual meeting experience with its ongoing Project Starline, which brings a three-dimensional aspect to online video communication.

Efforts to reduce bezels and notches at the top of smartphones are impeded by one major must-have feature: the front-facing camera. While many Android devices have adopted the "hole punch" over the iconic Apple notch, Google may be headed towards a unique under-display camera.

In a patent, Canon explains how it intends to translate its Eye-Control Autofocus (AF) technology into a camera with an electronic viewfinder (EVF). The technology was originally developed for the EOS 5 SLR, and as such needed updating.
