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 ...

Infrared thermal imaging sensors and cameras, like those shown here, are improving to be smaller and more sensitive, meaning energy auditors can more easily identify building heat loss, experts say.

Shortwave infrared light (SWIR) sensors are desirable in a broad range of applications, particularly in the service robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Colloidal quantum dots tuned ...

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.

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 ...

New collaboration brings HGH Infrared’s wide area surveillance, passive MWIR sensor technology into the UNIFY.C2 ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...

The F-22 will receive an embedded set of TacIRST sensors as part of the Infrared Defensive System to enhance aircraft survivability and lethality. Lockheed Martin announced on Jan. 22, 2025, that it ...

As evidenced by the Covid-19 pandemic, quick and non-invasive techniques to assess body temperature have become necessary. In various locations, including hospitals, airports and schools, non-contact ...

Lockheed Martin’s vaunted F-22 air superiority fighter is set to receive a new passive threat-detection system meant to increase survivability. The military airframer received a $270 million contract ...
