IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

A study demonstrates how the human hand can act as a powerless infrared radiation source in encryption/decryption and signal generation applications. Infrared emitters are used to interface with ...

High emissivity coatings and ceramics have emerged as pivotal materials in the facilitation of efficient infrared radiation management. These materials are engineered to convert thermal energy into ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Infrared cameras detect people and other objects by the heat they emit. Now, researchers have discovered the uncanny ability of a material to hide a target by masking its ...
