Thermal imaging devices detect infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero. They do not "see" in the same way visible light cameras do and instead ...

New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the ...

A thermal cloaking technique that can hide warm objects from infrared cameras has been proposed by researchers in France, the US, and the UK. Fernando Guevara Vasquez at the University of Utah and ...

Thermal cameras (and any thermal imaging device, including scopes, clip-on, and hand-held units) use a special lens to detect variations in temperature. Infrared cameras and night-vision devices ...

A new reconfigurable device that emits patterns of thermal infrared light in a fully controllable manner could one day make it possible to collect waste heat at infrared wavelengths and turn it ...

How does a cloud stay cool under direct sunlight—or seem to vanish in infrared? In nature, phenomena like white cumulus ...

If the U.S. military wants to spot an enemy creeping up at night using only his body heat, it relies on bulky thermal cameras that need to be lugged around in tanks, planes and helicopters. Only ...

WASHINGTON -- A new reconfigurable device that emits patterns of thermal infrared light in a fully controllable manner could one day make it possible to collect waste heat at infrared wavelengths ...

“Thermal imaging” refers to the ability to literally see (or photograph) heat. Heat actually generates its own light — light which human eyes cannot detect, because we can't see infrared ...

At $200, Seek Thermal is more affordable and smaller, and offers higher infrared resolution (206 x 156). Sadly, though, Seek doesn't merge heat images with actual photos.

A new type of polymer solar-thermal device that combines photovoltaics with a system that captures the Sun's infrared radiation to generate heat.

Oregon State Police seized 14 infrared thermal-imaging devices, four deer and one rifle during its investigation. The investigation began in the fall of 2024, after Fish and Wildlife Troopers ...
