Researchers Share Recipe for Low-Cost DIY Hyperspectral Imagers
Researchers used 3D printing and low-cost parts to create an inexpensive hyperspectral imager that is light enough to use on drones. The visible-wavelength hyperspectral imager (HSI) weighs less than half a pound and, according to researchers, can be built for as little $700 (USD).

Attosecond Pulses Break Into Atomic Interior
To observe the ultrafast electron motion in the inner shells of atoms with short light pulses, the pulses must be ultrashort, very bright, and the photons that are delivered must have sufficiently high energy. Physicists at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) have met the conditions necessary to achieve this goal.

Tunable Metalens Can Change Its Focus in Real Time, Like a Human Eye
Researchers have demonstrated electrically tunable large-area metalenses controlled by artificial muscle technology. The adaptive metalens simultaneously controls for three of the major contributors to blurry images: focus, astigmatism and image shift. The device thickness is only 30 µm.
