A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the ...

The basic procedure is to control the efficiency with a material that can emit infrared radiation. Take gold as an example. Gold is a nearly perfect metal: ...

Scientists have developed revolutionary contact lenses that grant wearers the ability to see infrared light—a feat humans naturally cannot achieve. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal ...

For example, flickering infrared light could be used to transmit information in security, rescue, ... (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm range).

Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic wave. ... For example, an insulated picnic bag can keep your lunch cooler for longer. It can also keep hot food hotter for longer.

An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...

Radiation of longer wavelengths is known as infrared radiation and used, for example, in night vision equipment. A specific part of this infrared part of the spectrum, ...

For example, ordinary white writing paper is good at absorbing infrared heat and, consequently, at emitting it. By contrast, metals are rather bad at it, as most of the heat is reflected.

OnePlus’ new 8 Pro has a surprising feature: X-ray vision. Well, it’s not proper X-rays of course, but seems to use the phone’s infrared sensors to see through certain black plastics. To try ...

Radiation is simply energy produced by an object; a broiling steak emits infrared radiation from its heat, for example. Mobile phones produce radiation from the radio waves they transmit.

For example, flickering infrared light could be used to transmit information in security, rescue, ... (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm range).
