Imager Could Help Autonomous Vehicles See Around Corners STANFORD, Calif., Aug. 6, 2019 — An around-the-corner camera system built by engineers at Stanford University uses a wave-based image formation model to allow non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging. The system builds upon previous around-the-corner cameras developed by this team, but is able to capture more light from a greater variety of surfaces and see wider and farther away than previous versions. It is also fast enough to monitor out-of-sight movement. To capture around-the-corner images, the system uses a powerful laser
Two-Photon Scope Captures Millisecond-Timescale Neuron Patterns In Vivo ASHBURN, Va., Aug. 9, 2019 — A new two-photon microscope from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus records footage of brain activity 15 times faster than once believed possible, the team said, revealing voltage changes and...
Ultrashort-Pulse Laser Could Solve Dilemma of Nuclear Waste Disposal VILNIUS, Lithuania, Aug. 1, 2019 — Researchers in Lithuania have developed an ultrashort-pulse laser that could eradicate nuclear waste and decrease the decay period from tens of thousands of years to seconds, hours, or months, depending on the material, they said.
Scientists Image the Ultrafast Motion of a Rotating Molecule HAMBURG, Germany, Aug. 6, 2019 — Scientists at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) and the Max Born Institute (MBI) have used precisely tuned pulses of laser light to film the ultrafast rotation of a molecule. The resulting “molecular movie” tracks one and one-half...
Scientists Apply LIF Imaging to Explore Molecular Interactions in Atmosphere EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. 9, 2019 — A new technique uses laser sheets to visualize and study the interaction of gas molecules bouncing off a liquid surface.
