Let’s start with this – did you know that one of the most important pieces of camera technology was developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in 1993? That’s right: it’s the active pixel sensor that’s ...

A new type of active pixel sensor that uses a novel two-dimensional material may both enable ultra-sharp cellphone photos and create a new class of extremely energy-efficient Internet of Things (IoT) ...

The invention led by Jie Zhang, a postdoctoral scholar in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory lab of Sherman Fairchild Professor Matt Wilson, is a new take on the standard CMOS technology ...

The dynamic range of a scene is usually higher than the dynamic range of the sensor used to acquire the image. Design optimizations must be found that increase the intra-scene dynamic range a sensor ...

The S16101 CMOS area image sensor with back-illuminated structure and a 1280x1024 Active Pixel Sensor matrix, incorporates a timing generator, amplifier and A/D converter. The sensor has a digital ...

Neurons communicate electrically, so to understand how they produce brain functions such as memory, neuroscientists must track how their voltage changes—sometimes subtly—on the timescale of ...

In this image adapted from the figures, the left side shows the chip micrograph, while the right side displays the pixel layout and schematics, highlighting each circuit element. The new pixel circuit ...

Ahead of next week's Unpacked, Samsung recently unveiled a new 200MP telephoto image sensor for smartphones with beefed-up light absorption capability. Isocell HP9 packs 200 million, 0.56 ...
