Specialised Imaging's SIMD32 32-frame camera captures plasma jet dynamics at 33 million frames per second to help validate the next generation of fusion simulations. Researchers in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London are using a Specialised Imaging SIMD32 ultra-high-speed framing camera to study how dense plasma jets interact with both magnetised and unmagnetise...

Light scattered in tissue usually ceases to be a useful source of information. But what if, instead of forcing it to travel along a single path, we allowed it to wander a little differently each time? Scientists from ICTER tested this seemingly risky idea and showed that a series of measurements that differ from one another can produce a clearer image than a single frame. The ne...

Hamamatsu Photonics has launched Hikari, an AI‑powered assistant that provides immediate, expert‑level guidance to researchers and engineers selecting photonics components. Hikari translates user requirements into relevant product recommendations, specification insights, calculations, and compatibility checks, while also offering alternative options and multilingual support....

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2026 is awarded for optogenetics — a method that makes it possible to show how nerve cells shape memories, feelings and behaviours in the living brain. Peter Hegemann, at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany, and Georg Nagel, at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany, discovered a r...
