This is a subject close to my own heart - I was slightly involved in an earlier iteration of very similar research. The aim is to find out how rich or poor people are in remote or otherwise ...

Human vision relies on light. After reflecting off surfaces, light enters into the eyes and travels through the cornea and pupil to produce an image on the retina. The eye is sensitive to a broad ...

How does one go about measuring the amount of light in a given area? With a Light Meter of course! Maintaining proper lighting levels can be very important in places like schools, hospitals and even ...

Researchers are seeing the light, but in an altogether different way. And how they are doing it just might be the semiconductor industry's ticket for extending its use of optical microscopes to ...

Pasadena, CA — Ohio State University researchers have found a way to measure distances to objects three times farther away in outer space than previously possible, by extending a common measurement ...

The fact that so many people are stuck at home makes for strange opportunities. Italy’s confined populace has taken to singing from the balconies — and now researchers are asking them to use those ...

Forget hunting for a tape measure or a protractor. Use your Android phone camera and sensors to handle different types of measurements easily.

Chlorine chemistry plays a key role in the manufacturing of thousands of products we depend upon to remain healthy, from disinfecting our public transportation systems and hospitals to keeping our ...
