Photoelectronic devices combine the vast use of electronics for processing information with the detection and the manipulation of light. Devices such as photodiodes are useful for detecting incoming light ...

In 1842, Johann Doppler delivered his paper on Doppler effect to Royal Bohemian Society. In his paper “On the Colored Light of Double Stars and Some Other Heavenly Bodies”, he arrived at the ...

Optical myography is a technique that visually inspects the human forearm to determine the hand posture. Hand posture is a communication element as important as the language itself. Human hand gesture ...

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system enables vehicles to wirelessly exchange information about their speed, location, and traffic information. The technology behind V2V communication allows ...

In recent medical research fields, continuum robot is becoming a prevalent topic because it can traverse confined spaces and manipulate objects in complex environments due to its compliant structure. With ...

Visual SLAM is now a trending approach in autonomous mobile robot development. Mobile robot is the one capable of transporting itself from place to place. For example, the first mobile robot emerged as a ...

3D body scanning lends itself to a wide variety of fields. Healthcare professionals can use body scans to make 3D printed prosthetics, animation studios can use body scans for highly-accurate portraits, ...

Adaptive optics is a technology to compensate for distortions in an imaging system. It typically uses a deformable mirror, that deforms to adjust for incoming distortion as the image is taken. It has been ...

How research in photodynamic therapy may lead to new treatments of deadly diseases like cancer. Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is most often associated with asbestos exposure.  Despite efforts of ...

Autonomous vehicles are a scientific wonder that optics is turning into a reality. On top of being highly convenient, autonomy for vehicles can potentially reduce rates of collision. This article covers ...
