A team of researchers has made a surprising new discovery, finding a pair of previously unknown salivary glands. Nestled deep in the back of the nasopharynx, the discovery may help prevent damaging side effects from head and neck cancer radiotherapy.

By high, we're referring to resolution here. The Leica M10-R rocks the highest resolution color image sensor of the M10 series to date, at 40-megapixels, and takes its rightful place as the M10 family flagship.

An image comparing toxic protein accumulations in the brains of older subjects suffering cognitive decline to older, cognitively healthy subjects known as “super-agers” has won Image of the Year from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.

Researchers from MIT have revealed the very first images of a human generated through a novel laser ultrasound imaging technique. Unlike conventional ultrasound, the new technique does not require any skin contact with the body.

An intriguing new study from Imperial College London is shedding light on how one of the world’s most powerful psychedelic substances alters brain activity, rapidly shifting a person’s brainwaves into a state that resembles dreaming.

Lens filters are an important tool for many DSLR photographers, but dealing with different diameter lenses, stepping-rings, square filter mounts and the rest can be frustrating and expensive. But now, an ingenious filter system for mirrorless camera adapter mounts, looks to shake things up.

A research collaboration between MIT and Google has taken the idea of computational photography to a new level by creating a system than can automatically retouch images in real-time before the shot has even been taken.

Art has always been fundamentally intertwined with technology. Our new series, Art in the age of ones and zeros, examines the impact of digital technologies on art and looks at how artists are creating entirely new forms of artwork using these modern electronic tools.

We've seen before how Google is experimenting with its RAISR algorithm to add detail and sharpness to images, but a new paper from a team of Google Brain researchers shows how machine learning might take things to a whole new level.

BMW claims to be the first automaker to implement a robotic optical measuring cell that can create a digital model of a full-sized vehicle in half the time of previous efforts.

Unveiled at IFA 2015 in Berlin, Polaroid's newest camera, the Snap, revisits the company's roots by combining instant prints with modern digital technology.

Researchers at Columbia Engineering claim to have created the first prototype video camera that is powered solely by the reflected light from the image that it is capturing. This new device has the potential to record indefinitely provided there is sufficient light available.
