Snake-inspired thermal vision is moving from the lab toward devices that look a lot like everyday cameras and phones. By mimicking how vipers sense heat and fusing that idea with standard silicon ...

Infrared spectrometers are expensive and powerful instruments scientists use to analyze the chemical makeup of a sample, and a new research project has demonstrated what this technology might look ...

Thermal imaging cameras, or infrared cameras, are unlike the cameras found in your smartphone. A typical camera observes the wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum that bounce off objects and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forecasting a 93% cost savings over traditional high-output emitters, the PIRELC high-output emitter deploys as a steady state or pulsed source of blackbody radiation for near-to-far infrared ...

An international team of researchers has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial -- could enhance a material's ability to trap or shed heat. The discovery, which ...
