Time-gating technique sees through deep tissue, dense fog, and other obstacles

science

Near-infrared imaging helps doctors detect cancer and guides self-driving cars, but struggles when light travels through deep tissue or dense fog. Phys.org reports on a time-gating technique aimed at solving that scattering problem while potentially lowering costs—existing detectors are expensive and specialized, limiting the technology's reach.
