Particle physics often advances when scientists find a new way to combine technologies that already exist. Researchers in Switzerland have now done exactly that, bringing together a special type of ...

Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. The study is published in Advanced Materials. Lenses ...

Learn how multispectral drones work, what they’re for, and how to choose the right drone or camera for agriculture, mapping, ...

Discover how variable aperture works in smartphone cameras and how it can improve image and video quality, exposure, depth of ...

Sensor fusion merges multi-sensor data with real-time AI, boosting drone navigation accuracy and anti-drone detection in harsh conditions.

Traditional fire-detection strategies that only react after smoke and flames appear are insufficient for protecting high-value, high-uptime assets such as industrial and compute infrastructure. Fire ...

Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focussed in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures – enlarged in the magnifying glass.
