The sun is very far away and extremely hot. In order to study the sun we need specialized equipment that looks at it using different wavelengths. Using different wavelengths provides us with a variety ...

Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by ...

Remote sensing has transformed mineral exploration and geological mapping by enabling rapid, non-invasive characterisation of the Earth’s surface across challenging and inaccessible terrains. Advanced ...

Machines are moving beyond single-point sensing. Multi-sensor fusion now delivers vision, ranging and inertial data. The ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

The Pentagon, NASA and private industry have been experimenting with high-altitude balloons for decades. This is the NASA super-pressure balloon that launched from Wanaka Airport, New Zealand, in 2016 ...

Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when such devices are working well, or even at all. A Pentagon contract suggests ...
