NIST Scientists Discover Large-Scale Cousin of Elusive 'Magnetic Monopoles'

Any child can tell you that a magnet has a "north" and a "south" pole, and that if you break it into two pieces, you invariably get two smaller magnets with two poles of their own. But scientists have spent the better part of the last eight decades trying to find, in essence, a magnet with only one pole.

Hi-Res CMOS Image Sensor for High Demand Machine Vision Applications

The new CMOS image sensor CMV2000 announced today by the European startup firm CMOSIS NV headquartered in Antwerpen, Belgium, is designed to run at a frame rate of more than 300 fps at full resolution. CMV2000 will provide 16 LVDS output channels, which can be multiplexed to 8, 4 and 2 channels at a reduced frame rate. The advanced architecture of the CMOSIS sensor allows for row windowing and row sub-sampling, which enables the high frame rate
