The ability to detect infrared radiation is the basis of any infrared thermal imaging technology. All objects emit infrared radiation as a function of their temperature; the detection of such ...

An international research team led by Drexel University found that thin coatings of MXene nanomaterials can enhance a material’s ability to trap or shed heat. MXenes, a two dimensional material first ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the science fiction movie ‘Predator’, the alien uses an advanced infrared thermal camera to get super night vision and to locate Dutch's hiding area accurately. Any object whose absolute ...

"It's exciting to learn that the feathers of birds are evolving to shed heat into outer space to track climatic challenges," ...

Scientists captured clear images of biomolecules in single live cells in water for the first time using infrared (IR) transmission imaging. The IR technique enables researchers to measure the mass of ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures a ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely ...

Scientists have developed revolutionary contact lenses that grant wearers the ability to see infrared light—a feat humans naturally cannot achieve. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal Cell00454 ...
