Northwestern University Researchers Use Light-Powered 3-D Printer to Develop Novel Terahertz Lens

From visible light to radio waves, most people are familiar with the different sections of the electromagnetic spectrum. But one wavelength is often forgotten, little understood, and, until recently, rarely studied. It's called terahertz, and it has important applications in imaging and communications.

NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Helps Astronomers Connect Blazar Blast to Cosmic Neutrino

Nearly 10 billion years ago, the black hole at the center of a galaxy known as PKS B1424-418 produced a powerful outburst. Light from this blast began arriving at Earth in 2012. Now astronomers using data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and other space- and ground-based observatories have shown that a record-breaking neutrino seen around the same time likely was born in the same event.

EyeVision’s Image Processing Software Helps Ensure Zero Error Production in Bottling Plant

Quality control is essential in production plants. Also for the food and beverage production. It doesn't matter if it is packaging, labeling or the cap, zero error production is a necessity. To guarantee a zero error production the image processing software (such as the EyeVision software) and the appropriate hardware such as smart cameras are getting more and more powerful. This leads one to believe that there is already an image processing solution for each machine vision application.
