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 ...

An infrared thermal camera, also known as a thermal imager or infrared camera, is a device that detects and measures infrared radiation emitted by objects in order to create a visual representation of ...

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 ...

As great as cameras that operate in the visual light spectrum are, they omit a lot of the information that can be gleaned from other wavelengths. There is also the minor issue that visibility is often ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...

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 ...

Contact lenses have enabled people to see beyond the visible light range, picking up flickers of infrared light even in the dark – or with their eyes closed. The lenses contain engineered ...

An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...

The electromagnetic spectrum, or EM spectrum, is the name given to the collection of all electromagnetic radiation in the universe. This is a type of energy that pervades the cosmos in the form of ...

An international team of researchers has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial -- could enhance a material's ability to trap or shed heat. The discovery, which ...
