Most modern aircraft, cruise missiles, spacecraft – in fact, almost all flying vehicles – use an accelerometer for flight stabilization. Living creatures that fly, on the other hand, rely on their own ...
(CNN) -- The next generation of digital cameras could show us how bugs see the world. Researchers have created a digital camera that imitates the bulging eyes of insects, specifically fire ants and ...
Almost all of our cameras form images by using a single lens to focus light onto a light-sensitive sheet. That’s how our own eyes actually work, but there are many other ways of seeing the world.
A camera smaller than a fingernail can now see what most high-speed cameras miss. Inspired by the eyes of insects, scientists have created a tiny, powerful device that captures fast-moving scenes in ...
A novel bio-inspired camera capable of ultra-high-speed imaging with high sensitivity was developed by mimicking the visual structure of insect eyes. The compound eyes of insects can detect ...
