High-Resolution Images From Space
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:39-04:00In 2016, The European Space Agency’s Mars orbiter sent back the first high-resolution images of the Red Planet, and the view is incredible. […]
UV Print Technology
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:13:19-04:00Ultra-violet printing is not a new technology. As a matter of fact, it has been utilized with great success for more than a decade in the flexographic printing industry. UV print technology offers a higher quality print as compared to water-based or solvent ink systems. […]
Cone-beam Imaging Scanners
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:13:21-04:00Cone-beam imaging CT (CBCT) scanners offer the advantages of being compact in size, less costly, and more portable than multidetector CT systems. Image quality, however, is often impacted by artifacts such as streaking or shading, associated with cone-beam effects and/or nonuniformity in image quality near the ends of the field-of-view [...]
Construction Drones
Universe Optics2024-01-16T10:46:17-05:00There are drones for package delivery; drones for search and rescue; drones for surveillance; drones for photography. Now, another application has emerged, and continues to take steps getting it closer to reality: construction drones. […]
Robotics And Food
Universe Optics2020-10-19T13:19:10-04:00Growing and preparing food is still rather low tech. For the most part; people are still key players at every step. However, that could change, and soon, as robotics is changing many aspects of life and is now making inroads within our food. Can robotics change the way we eat? [...]
CMOS Versus CCD
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:13:23-04:00When it comes to the relative advantages of CMOS versus CCD images, it seems that the debate has continued for as long as most people can remember. Since there is no definitive conclusion in sight, it’s not surprising that the answer is elusive, as the topic isn’t static. Not only [...]
Surgical Precision Lenses
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:13:23-04:00With the advancements in surgical procedures, more operating rooms are performing ‘minimally invasive’ surgeries. What that means is, instead of operating on patients through large incisions, miniaturized surgical instruments are being used to fit through small, sometimes as small as quarter-inch, incisions. The surgical precision lenses in these instruments contain [...]
Military Robots
Universe Optics2023-10-26T12:26:41-04:00The military has always been at the cutting edge of technology. Some of the most advanced robots in the world are being built with military robots in mind.
Raman Optical Technology
Universe Optics2023-10-26T12:38:05-04:00Using Raman optical technology, scientists at the University of Twente in The Netherlands can now produce images of brain tissue that is affected by Alzheimer’s disease. The images include the surrounding areas that are already showing changes. […]
Robotic Service Pets – The Future Is Closer Than You Think
Universe Optics2024-01-29T12:09:24-05:00How far off is the technology for robotic service pets to replace their breathing counterparts? The future is closer than you think. The most likely way for that to happen with technology is through machine learning. In the past, people have built AI systems by programming machines to respond to [...]
