NASA researchers identify optimal infrared wavelength for detecting carbon dioxide and methane on exoplanets, guiding the Habitable Worlds Observatory’s design and sensor specifications.

The system is built upon four foundational pillars: Autonomous Safety: Utilizing MQ-series gas sensors and flame detectors to provide real-time protection against fire and gas leaks through automated ...

Punch-drunk syndrome, boxer’s madness, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The name has changed over the years, but the cause is clear: repeated impacts can affect long-term brain health, with ...

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

Lockheed Martin announced Nov. 17 that it had conducted the first flight test of a new distributed infrared threat warning system. The company shared images of its Rockwell Sabreliner testbed aircraft ...

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 ...

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, ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...
