Quantum cameras can take images using light that has never actually illuminated an object. It can be useful for imaging particularly fragile tissues and materials.
A conventional camera captures the light reflected off an object to create an image. As a result, dim objects that are in contact with only a few light particles will be blurred. His Xiaosong Ma and his colleagues at Nanjing University in China have built a device that can harness light that never touches an object. …
