NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched to explore dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets, traveling to its orbit 1 million miles from Earth for a three-month journey.

MIT researchers have created a chip-based optical device that dynamically controls infrared light, enabling compact, tunable cameras for thermal imaging, chemical sensing, and pollution monitoring. The metasurface-based lens, described in Nature Communications, controls light at each pixel independently and can be manufactured using conventional semiconductor processes.

TagTinker is a Flipper Zero app for educational research into infrared electronic shelf-label protocols on authorized test hardware, enabling protocol observation and controlled display experiments.
