A team of scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) have figured out how to capture super slow-motion footage using what’s called an “Event Camera.” That is: a camera that sees the world in a continuous stream of information, the way humans do. Regular cameras work by capturing discreet frames, […] petapixel.com »

Narwhals are famous for their long ivory tusks, which reach lengths of up to nine feet. Documentary filmmaker Adam Ravetch and Fisheries and Oceans Canada used video captured by drones to discover a previously unknown use for the tusk: it's used to tap and stun fish before eating them. dpreview.com »

The iconic CERN teams up with major science laboratories for an international photography competition: the Global Physics Photowalk. [Read More]
More than 60 years ago, in the far northern reaches of Greenland, the United States Army built an underground scientific research base, Camp Century. Carved into the ice and snow, the nuclear-powered base operated from 1959 until 1967 and comprised 21 tunnels, totaling three kilometers in length. [Read More]
In its first year of operation, NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite has mapped Earth's mysterious ocean floors with more detail than older satellites could over 30 years. [Read More]
A brand-new Hubble image delivers an incredible view of a quasar, enabling the space telescope to "peer closer than ever into the throat of an energetic monster black hole.
The winner of the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2024 has been announced with an image of a shark hunt form above taking home the top prize. [Read More]
Photographers struggling to find the perfect angle for a group shot have often relied upon clumsy tripods, clunky self-timers, or, worst of all, missing out on being in the frame to take the photo themselves.
Apple's Machine Learning Research team created a new AI model that promises significant improvements concerning computer vision models and how they analyze three-dimensional within a two-dimensional image. [Read More]
