Samsung’s 108-megapixel mobile sensor closes in on mirrorless cameras

[ad_1] Even at that size, a 108-megapixel sensor will have ridiculously small pixels. By default, though, Samsung’s Tetracell tech will gather the light from four pixels, transforming it into a 27-megapixel sensor. You’ll still be able to snap 108-megapixel photos if you want, but that will likely require brightly lit shooting situations. Samsung’s Smart-ISO mechanism […]

Microfluidic sensor could spot life-threatening sepsis in minutes

[ad_1] Scientists know that levels of the protein interleukin-6 (IL-6), produced in response to inflammation, tend to rise in the hours before other sepsis symptoms reveal themselves. They’re normally too weakly concentrated to spot quickly, but the microfluidic sensor doesn’t have that issue. One of its fluid channels includes antibody-laced microbeads that mix with a […]

Samsung sensor paves the way for 64-megapixel smartphone cameras

[ad_1] In normal usage, the Bright GW1 will function as a 16-megapixel sensor by merging four pixels into one, in the same way that current 48-megapixel sensors from Samsung (and Sony) combine 4 pixels to create an effective 12-megapixel sensor. By doing so, the effective pixel area quadruples, allowing you to take clear, sharp photos […]

Ford’s futuristic shopping cart can brake on its own

[ad_1] Ford is blaming your kids for shopping cart mishaps, which seems a bit unfair. “Children love to copy adults — when they push a trolley, to their minds, it’s like they are behind the wheels of a car — with long, wide supermarket aisles as their racetrack,” the company wrote. That’s fair enough, but […]
