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 ...

Infrared imaging helps us see things the human eye cannot. The technology—which can make visible body heat, gas leaks or water content, even through smoke or darkness—is used in military surveillance, ...

A thermal camera captures heat signatures and converts them into a visible image. You may recognize thermal cameras for their distinct green, blue, and orange tinted images which have been portrayed ...

Researchers have used the centuries-old idea of pinhole imaging to create a high-performance mid-infrared imaging system without lenses. The new camera can capture extremely clear pictures over a ...

Scientists have developed a lens-free mid-infrared camera using a modern twist on pinhole imaging. The system uses nonlinear crystals to convert infrared light into visible, allowing standard sensors ...

A new report from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the tech giant is planning to put infrared cameras into its popular AirPods products and mass produce them by 2026. The IR cameras could be used ...

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 ...

Researchers use laser light to form a tiny “optical pinhole” inside a nonlinear crystal, which also turns the infrared image into a visible image that a traditional silicon-based camera sensor can ...
