Researchers from MIT have developed a technique that can reconstruct images of objects snapped in near total darkness. The scientists trained a deep neural network on "more than 10,000 transparent glass-like etchings, based on extremely grainy images of those patterns." They claim those grainy...

Researchers at the University of Bristol took a big step towards building light-based quantum computers. Dr. Imad Faruque said "We demonstrated for the first time that nearly perfect single-photons can be generated from two parallel sources on the same silicon chip." The researchers claim they...

All objects emit heat in the form of infrared radiation, which is why militaries around the world use infrared cameras in night vision equipment. But one aspect that's frequently overlooked is the polarization of the radiation that objects emit. According to Dr. Kristan Gurton, an experimental...
