Mirror, mirror on the wall …
Dec 5, 2014 — When you go window shopping, you need to bring your imagination. You’re not really interested in buying that expensive outfit on the mannequin, nor are you invested enough to go to a dressing room, but it would be nice to know how you look in it. So your mind’s eye takes up the challenge, with its erratic vision and often unreliable accounts. Fortunately, a new technology has presented a way for lukewarm shoppers to passively (and virtually) try on clothing just by looking in shop
Modified Streak Camera Captures 100B Frames Per Second
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4, 2014 — A modified streak camera is fast enough to capture the movement of a single laser pulse in real time. Streak cameras measure the intensity variation in a pulse of light with time, but in only one dimension. Researchers at Washington University gave...
Biospeckle Laser Method IDs Fruits’ Peak Ripeness
BEIRUT, Dec. 4, 2014 — There is a relatively small window of “peak edibleness” for fruits such as apples and tomatoes. Imagine being able to fit in that window at precisely the right time for an optimal harvest. That is now possible with a new laser technique....
