Coating Made from Quantum Material Conceals Temperature Change from IR Cameras
Coating Made from Quantum Material Conceals Temperature Change from IR Cameras
An ultrathin coating engineered from samarium nickel oxide (SmNiO3) has been found to emit the same amount of thermal radiation irrespective of temperature, within a range of about 30 °C. The coating, which was developed by engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and exhibits temperature-independent thermal radiation, could someday be used to control the visibility of objects to infrared (IR) cameras.

Photoacoustic Microscopy System Improves SNR and Temporal and Spatial Resolution
A superresolution localization photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) technique has been developed by a team at Pohang University of Science and Technology. The new system can monitor the flow of red blood cells without using a contrast absorber, enabling it to image blood vessels with exceptional resolution. Spatial resolution is improved by a factor of 2.5 in vivo, the team said.

Canon U.S.A. Inc., Industrial Products Div.
Canon RA-532H, Surface Reflectance Analyzer (goniophotometer), is a compact, portable device capable of measuring 4 surface appearance conditions in a single pass: Gloss, Haze, Image Clarity (IC), and BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function). Additionally, Canon has released its own new parameter, “Scattering” parameter, overcoming the shortage of both IC and DOI (Distinctiveness of Image) when evaluating matte and textured surfaces as well as orange peel surface.
