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 ...

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 ...

While we use a lot of CAD tools, many of us are fans of Tinkercad — especially for working with kids or just doing something quick. But many people dislike having to work across the Internet with ...

Have you ever imagined turning your ideas into physical objects with just a few clicks? Thanks to tools like Tinkercad, what once seemed like science fiction is now an accessible reality for anyone ...

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 ...

Contact lenses have enabled people to see beyond the visible light range, picking up flickers of infrared light even in the dark – or with their eyes closed. The lenses contain engineered ...

A new report from a reliable leaker suggests that the AirPods line will see IR cameras added next year, with an update to the AirPods Max waiting until 2027. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reiterated a June ...

Military-grade infrared vision goggles use detectors made of mercury cadmium telluride, a semiconducting material that’s particularly sensitive to infrared radiation. Unfortunately, you need to keep ...

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 ...

A new software tool enables quicker integration of infrared sensors by optimizing product design’s evaluation, development, testing, and validation phases. More specifically, the tool streamlines ...

US defence giant RTX feels that advanced electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors are now well positioned for detecting unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), missiles, and aircraft at extreme ranges. In the ...
