Imaging UAVs Move to the Forefront of Surveillance and Reconnaissance
With the U.S. and the U.K. deploying more troops overseas, and given the global increase in the frequency and lethality of terrorist attacks, it’s of little surprise that versatile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing a bigger role than ever before to tackle a new era of complex military issues.

Continuously Variable Bandpass Filters Aid Optics and HSI
The development of optical continuously variable bandpass filters is presenting an alternative approach for hyperspectral imaging techniques, making it more appealing to volume markets. This can include cancer detection, precision farming with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or directly at the plant, and food testing in supermarkets.

'Quantum Cocktail' Provides Insight Into Magnetic Storage
To speed up the writing and readout of magnetic information from storage devices, researchers are exploring the use of ultrashort laser pulses that can switch magnetic domains in solid-state materials. Although this route shows promise, the large number of magnetic materials interacting with one another has made this approach difficult to study.

A breakthrough in rapid additive manufacturing that involves UV light solidifying the inks used could pave the way for fully functional 3D-printed electronic circuits. Researchers have pioneered the breakthrough and hope to produce functional components such as 3D antennae and fully printed sensors from multiple materials including metals and plastics.
