New York City's Department of Transportation is expanding its use of high-tech sensors across city streets, Commissioner Mike Flynn announced this week. The devices are meant to help the department ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

Infrared sensors that detect the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region can clearly recognize objects not only during the day and at night, but also in fog or smoke, making them a key component of future ...

Fujitsu has developed a high-sensitivity and high-resolution infrared sensor to expand monitoring capabilities in the defense and disaster prevention fields. This sensor is a Type-II superlattice ...

The photograph shows a one-inch, single-crystal lead sulfide (PbS) film wafer (left). The right panel demonstrates a clear infrared image of a university emblem and Chinese characters, captured at ...

First-person view of someone aiming a TV remote at a smart TV - Proxima Studio/Shutterstock In recent years, IR blasters have become a standard part of smart TV systems, but it's not always clear just ...

Before we dive into how IR sensors work, let’s first get a quick understanding of what infrared radiation is. Infrared (IR) radiation is a type of invisible electromagnetic energy with waveforms ...

Abstract: This paper describes the use of multiple Infrared sensors to reconstruct a shape by detecting any changes in sensor displacement when there is an obstacle placed in front of the sensor.

Infrared (IR) temperature measurement plays a key role in ensuring the safety and optimal performance of batteries across a wide range of applications. Accurate temperature control is particularly ...
