In 1607, a comet appeared over Europe. This was Halley’s comet, later named after the astronomer who successfully predicted its reappearance and 75-year orbit in 1759. However, in 1607, it was just ...

In the Optica Publishing Group journal Optics Letters, researchers presented their innovative imaging system based on a single-pixel detector. They demonstrate that it can capture images of an object ...

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...
