IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it into electrical signals. There are two main types of sensors: ...

Scientists in China have developed a first-of-its-kind artificial imaging system inspired by snakes that are able to "see" heat coming off their prey in total darkness. The sensor captures ...

The ICure AS200 fiber-optic system provides heat by IR radiation, reducing curing times significantly. Anyone in the healthcare industry will tell you that medical devices will continue to shrink. But ...

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 ...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, alternatively referred to as vibrational spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used in chemical and physical sciences. This spectroscopic technique measures how samples ...

A Penn State team has shattered Kirchhoff’s 165-year-old law of thermal radiation. Their engineered metamaterial emits more ...
