Cameras Last Year Reduced Potential Outages by Nearly 20 Million Minutes The use of infrared cameras helped Consumers Energy avoid 19.9 million minutes of customer outages, part of a broader effort to ...

Infrared imaging helps us see things the human eye cannot. The technology—which can make visible body heat, gas leaks or water content, even through smoke or darkness—is used in military surveillance, ...

Scientists have developed a lens-free mid-infrared camera using a modern twist on pinhole imaging. The system uses nonlinear crystals to convert infrared light into visible, allowing standard sensors ...

Researchers use laser light to form a tiny “optical pinhole” inside a nonlinear crystal, which also turns the infrared image into a visible image that a traditional silicon-based camera sensor can ...

A new adaptive surface hides objects from infrared cameras by switching between two modes that match surrounding temperatures in both hot and cold environments. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Infrared cameras ...

I grew up reading Superman comic books. One of his superpowers was X-ray vision. He could see through opaque objects to detect danger. I was mesmerized by this power. What would you say if I told you ...

Contrary to popular belief, most property crimes—including burglaries and package theft—happen during the day, not under cover of darkness. But night still brings unique challenges: fewer people ...

Google is considering adding an under-display infrared (IR) camera to the Pixel 11, based on a leak from Google’s chips division. This would enable more secure and versatile face unlock, addressing ...

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 ...
