Learn about how light is transmitted through different materials and how to create ray diagrams to show light transmission with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

Microsoft's Kinect is great, but it has its limitations. Not so MIT's new nano-camera, though, which uses similar technology but can weave the same magic with translucent objects, and even work in ...

People at the Oregon coast recently have been finding strange, semi-translucent objects that kind of look like pickles washed up on the shore, leaving them flabbergasted.

On the front-end, users draw a bounding box to set the scene, highlight sources of light and foreground / blocking objects, and that’s apparently about it. Translucent objects seem to work, as well!

A prototype "nano-camera" from MIT can measure distances at the speed of light, making it more accurate with rain or translucent objects.

Frosted glass is translucent. It allows some light to pass through, but images of objects viewed through the frosted glass are not clear.
