As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

While a mosquito bite is often no more than a temporary bother, in many parts of the world it can be scary. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, spreads the viruses that cause over 100,000,000 cases ...

Thermal bridges, insulation defects and building envelope air leakage can form hidden energy gaps, or inefficiencies that ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to ...

A technology that enables the fabrication of "ultra-miniature infrared sensors" in desired shapes and sizes using room-temperature three-dimensional (3D) printing has been developed for the first time ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

New room-temp 3D printing makes microscale infrared sensors customizable and energy-efficient, reducing production costs and expanding design options. (Nanowerk News) A new 3D printing method could ...

The ability to detect human presence can be a pretty powerful attribute for a number of devices. Versions of this technology have been around for quite some time, but artificial intelligence and ...
