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 ...

When you really want your feelings known, we always say that bigger is better. [Gavin Smith, aka The Mechatronics Guy] must come from the same school of thought, because there’s absolutely no ...

The Osmo Action 6 features a larger 4K sensor in a square format for capturing horizontal and vertical videos. The Osmo Action 6 features a larger 4K sensor in a square format for capturing horizontal ...

Stratio, a Korean deep-tech startup founded by three Stanford Ph.D. graduates, is introducing what it claims is the first germanium-based short-wave infrared sensor designed for large-scale commercial ...

In recent decades, a quiet revolution has reshaped how we interact with the objects and systems in our daily lives. What once required cranks or rotary mechanisms, and later the press of a button, is ...

The visible light spectrum that humans perceive spans only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum — roughly 430 to 750 THz, corresponding to wavelengths of ~400-700 nm. Just beyond this range ...

Whether you're searing steaks in a cast-iron skillet, calibrating a pizza oven, or checking the temperature on HVAC equipment, a reliable infrared thermometer is a necessity not only for accuracy but ...

The TCRT5000 sensor is an infrared reflective sensor. This library is written to use with a TCRT5000 breakout's analog output and handle a threshold in software. These breakouts have typical two ...

Sydney, Australia, seen through FireSat Protoflight's multispectral infrared sensors. FireSat identifies vegetation, moisture, and heat sources including urban heat islands (an industrial area in this ...

Pictured, right: these 30 µm Noiseless InGaAs® APDs are high-speed, high-precision infrared sensors. Sheffield, UK,-- Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared sensors, ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...
