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

Thermal bridges, insulation defects and building envelope air leakage can form hidden energy gaps, or inefficiencies that force HVAC systems to operate under sustained high loads that drive up energy ...

It is well known that dogs boast an incredible sense of smell, but new research has uncovered another way our four-legged friends use their famous noses to find their way around. Scientists have ...

Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are increasingly being used in multi-sensor instruments to measure LEL combustible gas. While they offer a number of significant advantages, NDIR sensors also ...

BUDAPEST – Dogs have a type of infrared sensor in the tip of their nose which enables them to detect minute changes in temperature such as when other animals are nearby, according to new research.

Researchers at Finland’s Aalto University have engineered a wafer-thin “cloud” metasurface that can flip between bright white and deep grey, shifting a surface from powerful daytime cooling to rapid ...

As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

While a mosquito bite is often no more than a temporary bother, in many parts of the world it can be scary. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, spreads the viruses that cause more than 100,000,000 ...

Fractals are becoming popular for when it comes to designing microwave and radio-frequency antennas thanks to their “self-similarity” that allows the antenna to better collect and focus broadband, ...

An infrared sensor being developed in Italy is helping researchers monitor coronary heart-bypass operations. Scientists in Italy are developing an infrared (IR) instrument to monitor changes in blood ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...
