The sun is very far away and extremely hot. In order to study the sun we need specialized equipment that looks at it using different wavelengths. Using different wavelengths provides us with a variety ...

The Remote Sensing for Natural Resources certificate focuses on using satellite and aerial imagery to monitor, measure, and model natural systems. Learn how to interpret remote sensing data to support ...

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) has developed a ...

IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it into electrical signals. There are two main types of sensors: ...

A new low-power sensor node framework combines sensing and machine learning, with the potential to enhance real-time ...

Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when such devices are working well, or even at all. A Pentagon contract suggests ...

Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest data has proven far more ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene a workshop under the Board on Army Research and Development to explore quantum sensing technologies and their potential to ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food quality, or analyzing pollution, depended on large, expensive laboratory ...

Analyze images and other data to solve problems across disciplines. Imagery and other data collected by satellites, crewed aircraft, and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) are increasingly important for ...
