Jülich researchers, together with Italian and German colleagues, have developed a particularly cost-effective infrared detector that can be easily integrated into existing camera chips and smartphones ...

Infrared cameras see more than the naked eye and can make road traffic safer. Cameras for the long-wave infrared range, however, have the disadvantage that the sensor requires constant cooling, which ...

Snakes possess a unique sensory system for detecting infrared radiation, enabling them to generate a ‘thermal image’ of predators or prey. Infrared signals are initially received by the pit organ, a ...

The infrared detector is equipped with a 230 mAh lithium battery and supports USB charging, thus eliminating the need to replace the battery frequently. The battery is also durable as it can be used ...

There’s an entire world our eyes miss, hidden in the ranges of light wavelengths that human eyes can’t see. But infrared cameras can pick up the secret light emitted as plants photosynthesize, as cool ...

The benefits of car night vision systems that enable drivers to see people or animals more clearly on dark, unlit roads have already started appearing in luxury cars. But these systems rely on ...

Long-wave infrared cameras have the disadvantage that the sensor used in them requires constant cooling, which adds to the cost and complexity of the device. Now a new type of detector has been ...

Infrared photography used to be dead easy. You'd buy some IR film and put a dark, dark red filter on the front of your lens. Then you'd turn the focus ring a notch to the left to compensate for the ...

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 ...
