IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

We all know that feeling: you've turned the lights off and are almost asleep when you hear that infamous buzz. A mosquito is hunting in your bedroom. The dance commences. You could turn on the lights, ...

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 ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...
