Surprising details about mosquito mating could lead to improved malaria control techniques and help develop precision drone flight. A paper published Aug. 30 in Current Biology revealed that when a male Anopheles coluzzii mosquito hears the sound of female-specific wingbeats, his eyes “activate” and he visually scans the immediate vicinity for a potential mate.

Superconducting memlogic sensors merge in-cell logic and memory, advancing machine vision beyond traditional computing. These sensors utilize the quantum-sensitive and broad-spectrum capabilities of superconductors. We introduce a long-wave infrared sensor using superconductor-normal phase bistability, enabling deterministic, persistent switching.

Mid-infrared (MIR) temporal ghost imaging allows for reconstructing fast temporal objects using a commercially available MIR slow photodetector. To toward this goal, Scientists in China conceived a frequency downconversion temporal ghost imaging scheme that enables us to realize computational temporal ghost imaging in the mid-infrared.

In 1948, Dennis Gabor proposed the concept of holography. After 75 years of development, holographic imaging has become a powerful tool for optical wavefront measurement, which has given fresh energy to physics, biology, and materials science. Scientists in China regard the process of holographic recording and reconstruction as a transformation between complex-domain and real-domain, and discuss the mathematics and physical principles of reconstruction. The multidisciplinary nature brings it to label-free biology, wavefront sensing, and semiconductor production.
