Unlike comparable mid- and far-infrared detectors currently on the market, the detector developed by University of Michigan engineering researchers doesn’t need bulky cooling equipment to work. “We ...

As human-caused climate change continues to raise temperatures across the globe, understanding how birds regulate their temperature is vital for their conservation. But how much heat birds emit—an ...

For the first time, scientists at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) have managed to create a digital imaging sensor that can capture ultraviolet, infrared and visible light at the same time.

Silica-based photonic crystal fibre has proven highly successful for supercontinuum generation, with smooth and flat spectral power densities. However, fused silica glass suffers from strong material ...

Researchers have developed a compact camera that captures ultraviolet, near-infrared, and visible images using a single chip. Inspired by the multiwavelength vision capability of the mantis shrimp, ...

The first room-temperature light detector that can sense the full infrared spectrum has the potential to put heat vision technology into a contact lens. Unlike comparable mid- and far-infrared ...

Electrically controlled windows require power to switch between transparent and tinted states. Now, an ultraviolet light-harvesting solar cell can power smart windows without compromising their ...

Researchers have developed a soft artificial retina that helped blind mice respond to near-infrared light, a type of light ...

An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Impact Link There is a lot more to light than what mere human eyes can detect, but a device in your pocket can help you see beyond your biological limits. Our ...

Back in the film photography era, converting a camera to infrared was pretty straight forward. You put in some infrared film and put on an infrared filter and you were in business. With digital ...
