Foreign media: A research team from Tsinghua University in China has developed a spectroscopic imaging chip called "Yuheng" the size of a fingernail, which can perform real-time high-precision analysis of light signals. Its precision is about 100 times higher than existing imaging devices and can distinguish color differences smaller than 0.1 nanometers.
The chip combines optical technology, artificial intelligence, and new materials technology, breaking through the trade-off between resolution and efficiency in traditional visible light and near-infrared imaging.
The study was published in the journal Nature. The team plans to conduct field tests on the world's largest optical telescope - the Gran Canaria Telescope (with a diameter of 10.4 meters) located on the Canary Islands, Spain.
According to reports, "Yuheng" can record the spectral characteristics of nearly 10,000 stars per second, which could shorten the time for mapping the Milky Way from thousands of years to less than a decade, and promote the development of visual intelligence in devices such as drones, robots, and medical imaging.
