New camera offers ultrafast imaging at a fraction of the normal cost
Capturing blur-free images of fast movements like falling water droplets or molecular interactions requires expensive ultrafast cameras that acquire millions of images per second. In a new paper, researchers report a camera that could offer a much le.....»»
These worms have rhythm: New imaging technique to observe active gene expression in real time
There's a rhythm to developing life. Growing from a tiny cell cluster into an adult organism takes precise timing and control. The right genes must turn on at the right time, for the right duration, and in the correct order. Losing the rhythm can lea.....»»
Experimental quantum imaging distillation with undetected light
It is possible to image an object with an induced coherence effect by making use of photon pairs to gain information on the item of interest—without detecting the light probing it. While one photon illuminates the object, its partner alone is detec.....»»

Florida under water: Why was Hurricane Idalia so destructive?
One of the hallmarks of the destructiveness of a hurricane is how much water it dumps on ordinarily dry land. As Hurricane Idalia intensified, resulting in major flooding even before it made landfall Wednesday, University of Virginia hydrologist Venk.....»»
Gaining time without sacrificing accuracy when predicting typhoon-induced storm surges
A deep learning method developed by RIKEN researchers can accurately predict the destructive power of typhoon-induced storm surges on coastal regions in a fraction of the time of conventional models. It promises to buy precious time for coastal resid.....»»
Uncovering a privacy-preserving approach to machine learning
