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 ...

Stratio, a Korean deep-tech startup founded by three Stanford Ph.D. graduates, is introducing what it claims is the first germanium-based short-wave infrared sensor designed for large-scale commercial ...

Extending its portfolio of image sensors for automotive applications, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has announced the upcoming release of its new 5-megapixel (MP) IMX775 CMOS RGB-IR image sensor ...

Tanner Yackley, a former drone sensor operator with the US Air Force, spent years flying remote combat missions, tracking targets, and executing high-stakes strikes — all from a windowless room ...

The visible light spectrum that humans perceive spans only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum — roughly 430 to 750 THz, corresponding to wavelengths of ~400-700 nm. Just beyond this range ...

Whether you're searing steaks in a cast-iron skillet, calibrating a pizza oven, or checking the temperature on HVAC equipment, a reliable infrared thermometer is a necessity not only for accuracy but ...

Grilling a steak to the perfect medium-rare. Roasting a whole chicken without drying it out. Smoking a brisket low and slow until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. Whether you’re a home cook or backyard ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

Researchers have developed an innovative photodetector capable of detecting a broad range of mid-infrared spectra. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) utilizes mid-infrared spectroscopy to ...

Military-grade infrared vision goggles use detectors made of mercury cadmium telluride, a semiconducting material that’s particularly sensitive to infrared radiation. Unfortunately, you need to keep ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...
