Infrared radiation (IR), or infrared light, is a type of radiant energy that's invisible to human eyes but that we can feel as heat. All objects in the universe emit some level of IR radiation, but ...
When scientists talk about radiation, they are referring to photons, which are massless particles. According to quantum mechanics, the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency (i.e ...
High emissivity coatings and ceramics have emerged as pivotal materials in the facilitation of efficient infrared radiation management. These materials are engineered to convert thermal energy into ...
The breakthrough: Scientists at Harvard may have discovered how to utilize an entirely new renewable energy source — the Earth's infrared emissions into outer space. Heated by the sun, our planet ...
In the 1940s, visitors watching football games at Berkeley’s Californian Memorial Stadium would often be plagued by beetles. The insects swarmed their clothes and bit them on the necks and hands. The ...
Contact lenses have enabled people to see beyond the visible light range, picking up flickers of infrared light even in the dark – or with their eyes closed. The lenses contain engineered ...
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 ...
