What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout electronics, such ...
Scientists have developed a new method for detecting mid-infrared (MIR) light at room temperature using quantum systems. Scientists from the University of Birmingham and the University of Cambridge ...
When you unlock a phone, step into view of a security camera or drive past a license plate reader at night, beams of infrared light - invisible to the naked eye — shine onto the unique contours of ...
Scientists have developed a new type of “virtual” metasurface – capable of controlling light in ways traditional lenses can’t. Discover how this tunable technology could impact optics, microscopy, and ...
A carbon nanotube transistor turns invisible 940 nm light into both a signal and memory, advancing low-power neuromorphic vision hardware. (Nanowerk Spotlight) When a scene is too dark for a ...
