You can cover yourself from head to toe in fatigues or dark clothing, but it’s nearly impossible to hide from a thermal camera that can see the invisible infrared radiation your body emits. Or is it?

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 ...

With the rapid development of nanophotonics, spectrally selective infrared stealth technology has achieved great success through the design of metamaterials. However, as the background environment is ...

A study participant puts in a contact lens. Researchers developed lenses with nanoparticles that convert infrared wavelengths into visible light that humans can perceive. Yuqian Ma, Yunuo Chen, Hang ...

D’oh: simulation of infrared radiation from a heat source being blocked by an object shaped like the head of Homer Simpson (left). The image on the right shows how the proposed cloaking device would ...

Suitable monitoring and control of process temperatures require exceptional guidance by the producer or a basic understanding of the measurement techniques required on the part of the customer.

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 ...

Schematic of the TCM–MWG–TED structure. The upper thermochromic (TCM) layer provides visible camouflage with high transparency in the 8–14 μm mid-infrared range. The middle layer consists of a ...

How athletes rebound from constant wear and tear on their bodies has become nearly as important as how they train. Warm baths and cold tubs are old staples, but far infrared radiation (FIR) saunas are ...

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation gave a $1.5 million grant to UC Berkeley astrophysicist Carl Pennypacker and Tim Ball, president of Fireball Information Technologies, LLC, funding their efforts ...
