Robotic system checks on corn plants by measuring leaf angles

In order to see how well a corn plant is performing photosynthesis, you need to check the angle of its leaves relative to its stem. And while scientists ordinarily have to do so manually with a protractor, a new robotic system can now do the job much m… Continue reading Robotic system checks on corn plants by measuring leaf angles

3D microscope video tracks virus zipping around in real time

Scientists at Duke University have created a real-time video that captures the frantic movements of a single virus as it tries to infect a cell. The video shows a part of the process that’s normally hard to see.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, Scienc… Continue reading 3D microscope video tracks virus zipping around in real time

New camera system taps into terahertz wavelengths for better imaging

A team of engineers has developed a new type of camera that can detect radiation in terahertz (THz) wavelengths. This new imaging system can see through certain materials in high detail, which could make it useful for security scanners and other sensor… Continue reading New camera system taps into terahertz wavelengths for better imaging

Tiny ultrasound stickers a breakthrough in continuous real-time imaging

Engineers at MIT have designed a tiny sticker that can deliver continuous ultrasound images of internal organs for up to 48 hours. The innovation is a step towards a future where stickers could wirelessly track muscle health during workouts or fetal de… Continue reading Tiny ultrasound stickers a breakthrough in continuous real-time imaging

“Ghost imaging” combines human vision with AI to see around corners

X-ray vision has long been a staple power for superheroes, but soon mere mortals could see hidden objects with a little help from AI. Researchers at the University of Glasgow have demonstrated a “ghost imaging” system that reads the brainwaves of a per… Continue reading “Ghost imaging” combines human vision with AI to see around corners
