From the early days of CT scanners and mammography devices, medical imaging has come a long way. With 3D medical imaging, healthcare professionals can now access new resolutions, angles, and details to help them gain a better understanding of their patient, all while cutting back on the dosage of radiation [...]
In 2016, The European Space Agency’s Mars orbiter sent back the first high-resolution images of the Red Planet, and the view is incredible. […]
In June of 2001, computers all over the world were introduced to a new concept called Google Earth; or earth mapping. When launched on a computer, you start in outer space and miraculously zoom in. However, the leaders at Google Earth are quick to point out that it’s not just [...]
In 2000, Bill Clinton was president of the United States, and the world’s computers had just ‘survived’ the Y2K bug. It was also the year that NASA’s Terra satellite began collecting images of Earth. […]
Anyone that has ever landed in an emergency room with a broken bone, head injury, or been pregnant has been exposed to medical imaging technology, and is acutely aware of how important it can be. With medical imaging technology, lives have been saved when one has presented with a stroke, [...]
More and more robots and artificial intelligence is being seen throughout the world of technology. Alongside smartphones; fitness accessories and robotic appliances are showing up. Personal, practical and well-designed, these products bundle both robotic hardware and the ease of connected services into consumer-friendly packages for high-tech fans. [...]
Imaging single proteins has been a long-standing ambition for advancing various fields in natural science. For instance, structural biology, biophysics, and molecular nanotechnology. In particular, revealing the distinct conformations of an individual protein is of utmost importance. The past 20 years have witnessed the advent of numerous technologies to specifically [...]
Intelligent robotics is one of the technologies that has the potential to fundamentally alter society. From both an industrial and social perspective. “Smart perception” is a key concept that will drive this evolution toward intelligent robotics. With the continued advancements, we could see micro-sized cameras looking at every angle, depth, [...]
A one trillion-ton iceberg – one of the largest ever recorded – has calved away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The final breakthrough was detected in data from NASA’s Aqua MODIS satellite instrument, which uses infrared thermal imaging at a resolution of 1km, and confirmed by NASA’s [...]
On August 21st, there will be a total eclipse of the Sun. It will be the first time in history that the scientists will be able to comprehensively measure the infrared radiation being emitted from the Sun’s corona. Using two spectrometers and cameras, the images will provide valuable reference data [...]
