Hyperspectral and Multispectral Imaging
Over the past two decades, hyperspectral imaging and multispectral imaging have been growing in prominence and utility. Although the terms are often conflated, they represent two distinct imaging practices, each fitting its own application spaces. Both technologies present advantages over standard machine vision imaging, which uses light only from the visible spectrum. However, with the benefits...
High-Pulse-Energy Air-Cooled Lasers
Size, weight, and power (SWaP) are key attributes of laser transmitters for military, defense, and aerospace applications. Battlefield lasers must be compact, lightweight, and have high wall-plug...

The Eyes Behind Surgical Robots
The first robotic surgery took place in 1985 when the PUMA 560 was used in a stereotaxic operation in which computed tomography (or x-ray) was used intraoperatively to guide a robot as it inserted a...
Editorial
The medium and the monitor
Humans are communicative beings. From Nüshu to TikTok, we need to express our thoughts, feelings, jokes, joys, and fears. Over millennia, our intimate and intellectual selves have spread across various media. And, over millennia, the media for communicating our selves have evolved with technological capabilities — from cave walls to bamboo scrolls, semaphores, and party lines. Even...

Amphibians aglow
Until recently, the scientific world knew of only a handful of biofluorescent amphibians. Today, scientists are wondering whether all amphibians glow. Herpetologist Jennifer Lamb and ichthyologist Matthew Davis led a group of researchers in a study of 32 species of amphibians, with a particular focus on salamanders. Prior to the study, only one species of salamander had been identified to have...
