Curious about the practical limits of infrared imaging, the independent engineering channel Project 326 developed a ...

A new technique uses 'molecular antennas' to funnel electrical energy into insulating nanoparticles, creating a new class of ultra-pure near-infrared LEDs for medical diagnostics, optical ...

The lensed SFH 4258S and 4259S IR Power Topled infrared LEDs have 80% higher optical output (80 mW from an operating current of 70 mA) than standard versions, with the same surface area and drive ...

After decades of intense research, surprises in the realm of semiconductors – materials used in microchips to control electrical currents – are few and far between. But with a pair of published papers ...

Contrary to popular belief, most property crimes—including burglaries and package theft—happen during the day, not under cover of darkness. But night still brings unique challenges: fewer people ...

Those tiny red lights you see on CCTV cameras are not always indicators that the camera is recording, they are infrared (IR) LEDs that help cameras capture footage in the dark. In low-light or ...
