Hotter objects typically glow brighter than cooler ones, making them stand out in infrared images. But a newly designed coating bucks the rule that hotter equals brighter. For certain wavelengths of ...

“We are excited to announce this new technology, because it makes a real difference in situations where you have objects at multiple distances that you want in focus. Places like substations, motors ...

A new adaptive surface hides objects from infrared cameras by switching between two modes that match surrounding temperatures in both hot and cold environments. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Infrared cameras ...

D’oh: simulation of infrared radiation from a heat source being blocked by an object shaped like the head of Homer Simpson (left). The image on the right shows how the proposed cloaking device would ...

Teledyne Flir OEM has introduced a new automotive-qualified thermal camera called Tura, developed to meet functional safety ...

Barcodes and QR codes feel like they’re everywhere nowadays, but they don’t have to be. Scientists at MIT have developed an invisible tagging system called BrightMarker, which embeds fluorescent tags ...
