"The most realistic applications are noncontact diagnostics and advanced thermal imaging," the team noted. "Different tissues ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a tiny, electrically tunable infrared filter that could help shrink bulky thermal sensing systems ...

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 ...

Scientists in Australia have created a tiny device that could transform the way we detect pollution, monitor health, and ...

While Bluetooth is becoming the standard for almost everything, TV remotes and TVs still use infrared as the dominant option.

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components. Detecting infrared ...

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 ...
