A review is made of the physics and technology of spectrally selective thermal detectors, especially those operating at non-cryogenic temperatures. The background radiation noise fluctuations are ...

You can classify infrared light into three broad ranges: short wave, medium wave, and long wave. Traditionally, sensors concentrate on one or two bands, and each band has its own purpose. Short wave ...

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 ...

Prof Zhang Zhiyong's team at Peking University developed a heterojunction-gated field-effect transistor (HGFET) that achieves high sensitivity in short-wave infrared detection, with a recorded ...

The demand for multifunctional, flexible, and high-strength ultra-thin films is rapidly increasing to meet the continuous advancements in electronic technology, thermal management, and aerospace ...

A lithium-ion battery was recently shredded at a dry mixed recycling (DMR) plant, igniting flammable materials and causing a series of small smoldering fires. However, an infrared transit heat sensor ...

One of the coolest things about infrared cameras is that you can point them at a scene and get a visual image of how hot or cold things are. So … what if those things are humans? Could you use an IR ...
