This is a subject close to my own heart - I was slightly involved in an earlier iteration of very similar research. The aim is to find out how rich or poor people are in remote or otherwise ...

Human vision relies on light. After reflecting off surfaces, light enters into the eyes and travels through the cornea and pupil to produce an image on the retina. The eye is sensitive to a broad ...

The fact that so many people are stuck at home makes for strange opportunities. Italy’s confined populace has taken to singing from the balconies — and now researchers are asking them to use those ...

Researchers are seeing the light, but in an altogether different way. And how they are doing it just might be the semiconductor industry's ticket for extending its use of optical microscopes to ...

How does one go about measuring the amount of light in a given area? With a Light Meter of course! Maintaining proper lighting levels can be very important in places like schools, hospitals and even ...

Pasadena, CA — Ohio State University researchers have found a way to measure distances to objects three times farther away in outer space than previously possible, by extending a common measurement ...

If you are looking for a pro-grade, precise, and easy-to-use measuring device, the Mileseey S50 Green-Beam Laser Measure is the way to go. Going beyond the very basic, bare-bones laser meters on the ...

In the last few weeks I've been working on a slightly more formal version of this post on black-body radiation for use in something else. One of the tricky things in writing about the development of ...

Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs) measure vibrations in ways that other sensors can't. From large aircraft structures to microscopic MEMS sensors, and Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs) measure ...
