Researchers created a programmable thermal material that steers heat and retains its state without power, a breakthrough that ...

A new metasurface chip from MIT electronically tunes infrared light without mechanical components, opening new possibilities ...

Harvard researchers have discovered that cycads—one of the oldest living lineages of seed plants—heat up their reproductive organs to attract beetle pollinators and the insects possess infrared ...

Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

EPFL physicists propose a new path to detect infrared radiation with outstanding sensitivity, allowing detection of signals as low as that of a single quantum of light. When using our webcam or cell ...

The ability to detect infrared radiation is the basis of any infrared thermal imaging technology. All objects emit infrared radiation as a function of their temperature; the detection of such ...

A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light is set to improve thermal imaging and infrared thermography. A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light, developed in the lab of ...

While a mosquito bite is often no more than a temporary bother, in many parts of the world it can be scary. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, spreads the viruses that cause over 100,000,000 cases ...

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the industrial heating and lighting sectors frequently encounter a frustrating operational challenge: quartz heating envelopes that degrade prematurely.
