A research group led by Assistant Professor Takafumi Tomita and Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed a new microscopy ...

Researchers have developed a compact, single-shot polarization imaging system that can provide a complete picture of polarization. By using just two thin metasurfaces, the imaging system could unlock ...

Polarimetric imaging can uncover features invisible to human eyes and conventional imaging sensors, hence is becoming an ever more essential technique in modern society. Conventional polarimetric ...

Imagine a camera that's mounted on your car being able to identify black ice on the road, giving you a heads-up before you drive over it. Or a cell phone camera that can tell whether a lesion on your ...

Beneath the water's surface lays a hidden world: one that cannot be perceived by the human eye. When viewed through a special camera, however, rich polarization patterns are unveiled. These patterns ...

Collagen is essential for tissue integrity and stability, and changes in its intrinsic organization are the key features in several important diseases such as scar formation, heart infarction and ...

In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a research team led by Prof. Dongguo Zhang of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy ...

An experimental technique that started life in nuclear and particle physics is now being used to measure chemical reactions inside the human body and to help diagnose cancer and heart disease in ...

Imaging ellipsometry enables non-destructive, multi-scale quality control of microstructured MXene thin films during device ...
