The new super sensative CMOS sensor by Canon A prototype camera which uses the new sensor Canon announced today that it successfully developed a super high-sensitivity full-frame CMOS sensor developed exclusively for video recording. The new Full HD sensor can ...

Miniaturization has always been the name of the game. In recent years we have been flooded by a progressively growing number of reports on “the world’s smallest objects”, but at the present rate of technological development these records will probably ...

Scientists at Philips have developed new fully digital Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiMPs) that may replace detectors within PET scanners as well as open up possibilities for other ultra-sensitive detectors for DNA sequencing and protein microarrays. Digital silicon photomultiplier offers faster and ...

Researchers from the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science at UCLA have developed a continuously operating camera that can capture images at rates of approximately 6 million frames per second. Unparalleled to existing conventional video cameras, this new ...

The EyeBorg Project is the work of Rob Spence, a one-eyed Canadian filmmaker and Kosta Grammatis, a former avionics systems engineer. Spence and Grammatis have teamed up with Phil Bowen, an ocularist, and Steve Mann, an expert on wearable computing ...

Researchers at Intel have pushed the boundaries of silicon photonics once again by developing the first avalanche photodetector (APD). This inexpensive silicon-based device promises to revolutionize how multiple processor cores communicate within computing systems. It uses standard silicon to transmit ...

During the recent 2008 CES, Casio announced it is developing a new camera capable of capturing up to 60 stills frames per second (fps) and up to 1,200 fps in video recording, making it the fastest consumer camera ever produced. ...

The Israeli start up company Sirica has developed a unique infrared detector that enables low cost, high performance infrared imaging. The detector requires no cooling and no vacuum packaging, making infrared vision and imaging devices available to the masses. Car ...

Sony has developed a prototype of a new image sensor, CMOS (or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor, which should provide continuous imaging from all pixels at the high frame rate of 60 frames per second. The new high-speed CMOS sensor is ...
