Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military ...

(Nanowerk News) What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout ...

Extreme miniaturization of infrared (IR) detectors is critical for their integration into next-generation consumer electronics, wearables and ultra-small satellites. Thus far, however, IR detectors ...

The project aims to build a very simple clock that does not contain any buttons, alarms, or settings besides time as it uses infrared to detect light. The IR sensor data is being read by the ...

(Nanowerk News) Miniaturization of infrared spectrometers will lead to their wider use in consumer electronics, such as smartphones enabling food control, the detection of hazardous chemicals, air ...

Substantial miniaturization of infrared (IR) sensors is necessary for their incorporation into next-generation portable electronics, wearable devices, and small satellites. However, modern infrared ...

In the science fiction movie ‘Predator’, the alien uses an advanced infrared thermal camera to get super night vision and to locate Dutch's hiding area accurately. Any object whose absolute ...

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 ...
