Low-Cost Lightweight Hyperspectral Imagers Bring Sophisticated Imaging Capability to Drones

In a new study, researchers used 3D printing and low-cost parts to create an inexpensive hyperspectral imager that is light enough to use onboard drones. They offer a recipe for creating these imagers, which could make the traditionally expensive analytical technique more widely accessible. Hyperspectral imagers produce images like a traditional color camera but detect

Satellite Imagery Is Revolutionizing the World. But Should We Always Trust What We See?

In 1972, the crew of Apollo 17 captured what has become one of the most iconic images of the Earth: the Blue Marble. Biochemist Gregory Petsko described the image as “perfectly representing the human condition of living on an island in the universe.” Many researchers now credit the image as marking the beginning of environmental
