Inspired by snake pit organs, we propose a CMOS-integrated upconverter system achieving room-temperature, 4K ...

The best view of the interstellar comet in space would be for ESA's JUICE spacecraft, headed on a slow trajectory towards ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems. The key ...

Infrared sensors, which act as the "seeing" component in devices such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, 3D face recognition systems in smartphones, and wearable health care devices, are regarded as ...

Military-grade infrared vision goggles use detectors made of mercury cadmium telluride, a semiconducting material that’s particularly sensitive to infrared radiation. Unfortunately, you need to keep ...

A new software tool enables quicker integration of infrared sensors by optimizing product design’s evaluation, development, testing, and validation phases. More specifically, the tool streamlines ...

US defence giant RTX feels that advanced electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors are now well positioned for detecting unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), missiles, and aircraft at extreme ranges. In the ...

The IRST Block II enhances ‘situational awareness by supplementing air-to-air detection and track capabilities, and autonomously or in combination with other sensors, supports the guidance of beyond ...
