Astronomy

New telescope brings distant galaxies into sharp focus

Durham University astronomers have played a key role in research using a powerful new telescope to bring images of the distant Universe into much sharper focus.

HiRISE Mars Camera Reveals Hundreds of Impacts Each Year

Researchers have identified 248 new impact sites on parts of the Martian surface in the past decade, using images from the spacecraft to determine when the craters appeared. The 200-per-year planetwide estimate is a calculation based on the number found in a systematic survey of a portion of the planet.

Herschel bows out with study that shows early galaxies ‘cooler’ than predicted

Physicists analysing observations from the Herschel Space Observatory have shown that galaxies in the early Universe were cooler than those we see around us today.

New Method of Finding Planets Scores its First Discovery

A team at Tel Aviv University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) has just discovered an exoplanet using a new method that relies on Einstein's special theory of relativity.

Rare galaxy found furiously burning fuel for stars

Astronomers have found a galaxy turning gas into stars with almost 100 percent efficiency, a rare phase of galaxy evolution that is the most extreme yet observed.

Birth of a Black Hole

A new kind of cosmic flash may reveal something never seen before: the birth of a black hole.

Imaging & Machine Vision

10 and 14 Mpixel USB3 Vision cameras now in serial production

The sensors are characterized in particular by their A-Pix™ technology, which enhances the quantum efficiency by the use of light guides and deep photo diodes. This minimizes crosstalk and leads to sharper images with vibrant colors even in low-light conditions.

New Series of Compact USB 3.0 Cameras

The color, monochrome and Bayer models are available with resolutions from VGA to 5MP. They are ideally suited to machine vision applications in automation, traffic surveillance, quality assurance, medicine, logistics, microscopy and security.

Teledyne Acquires Axiom IC

Located in Enschede, the Netherlands, Axiom IC was founded in 2007 and is a spin-off from the University of Twente. Axiom IC’s customers include global companies in a number of industries, including space systems, wireless communications, automotive and medical technologies.

Medical Engineering

UCLA bioengineers simplify fluid flows by removing complex math

A research team led by UCLA bioengineers has developed a way to program and control the shape of fluids flowing through pipes or conduits without the need to solve complex and time-consuming fluid-motion equations.

Philips’ new advanced imaging ultrasound system provides a cost-effective solution to clinicians in a wide range of care settings

Philips new ultrasound system includes cutting-edge tools such as four dimensional (4D) imaging technology called Spatio Temporal Image Correlation (STIC) that allows clinicians to quickly inform patients about any rare or complex heart abnormalities in the fetus.

New device can extract human DNA with full genetic data in minutes
