The study is published in Advanced Healthcare Materials.
Time-gating technique sees through deep tissue, dense fog, and other obstacles
From helping doctors detect cancer to guiding self-driving cars through traffic, many modern imaging systems rely on near-infrared light, producing a crisp picture when visible light would scatter and yield a blurry picture. But near-infrared systems struggle when light passes through materials like deep tissue or dense fog, succumbing to the same scattering effect in which photons deviate from their path. Existing near-infrared imaging systems also rely on specialized detectors made from expensive materials, limiting their affordability and widespread use.

Researchers identify ways to reduce the lag between biodiversity data and action
Biodiversity is enormously diverse, unevenly observed and constantly in motion across space and time. This makes it far harder to monitor than many other parts of the environment. As a result, managing biodiversity often depends on information that is incomplete, delayed or unevenly distributed. At the very moment when rapid change makes timely knowledge more valuable, systems for collecting, identifying, publishing and using biodiversity data often struggle to keep pace.
