Computer vision researchers have demonstrated they can use special light sources and sensors to see around corners or through gauzy filters, enabling them to reconstruct the shapes of unseen objects.

Researchers from the Human Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) and Robotics Institute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects ...

The light detected on an image sensor is composed of direct light, that travels directly from the light source to an object in the line of sight of the sensor, and indirect light that interacts with ...

Drawing inspiration from how plants change shape in response to environmental stimuli, Harvard scientists from the Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have ...

Scientists at the University of Missouri have identified a small group of unusual objects in the early universe. Using NASA's ...

Robots and other automated systems have always had trouble visually gauging the 3D shape of transparent objects, like those made of glass. A new system addresses that problem, by using a laser to ...

Berkeley -- A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. Nicknamed the "replicator" by the inventors -- after the Star Trek device ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...
