Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

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 ...

FPAs are image sensors that convert infrared light into electrical signals to produce real-time thermal images and are widely ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Our ability to learn more about insect behavior—which affects ecology, health, and economy on a global scale—depends largely on suitable recording technology. But until now, these tools have been ...

SAN FRANCISCO – Washington-based startup Hydrosat is preparing to send its first thermal-infrared instrument into orbit July 8 on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 rideshare flight. The instrument, designed to ...

Smart home sensors work hand-in-hand with various gadgets to make daily life more comfortable. Here are eight smart home ...

Thermopile sensors offer a reliable way to measure temperature without physical contact, making them ideal for real-world applications where speed, safety, and precision matter. Whether you are ...
