According to a study published in Nature Communications, researchers have created an extremely sensitive detector for identifying molecules based on their infrared vibrational “fingerprint.” ...

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Detectors received new funding from the National Science Foundation to continue developing infrared detectors for the next generation of ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

With sensor technology becoming increasingly fundamental to a world driven by big data, photonics is also riding on the wave. VIGO Photonics, a Polish company founded in 1987 and specialized in ...

Mosquito-borne diseases affect hundreds of millions of people every year, with a disproportionate impact on the developing world. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, is a primary vector of viruses ...

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 ...

Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” ...

Researchers have developed a soft artificial retina that helped blind mice respond to near-infrared light, a type of light ...
