The purported benefits of an infrared sauna offer plenty of promise—from limbering up our limbs to detoxifying our bodies—and the market is surging these days with expanding options inside wellness ...

A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale. Mid-infrared microscopy is typically limited by its low ...

While infrared light is invisible to most animals, there are some, including salmon, bullfrogs and snakes, that can see in infrared ...

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that a specific class of oxide membranes can confine, or 'squeeze,' infrared light -- a finding that holds promise for next generation infrared imaging ...

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, studies the universe with infrared light. That’s a range of wavelengths on the infrared spectrum, from those measuring about 700 nanometers ...

It may sound like something out of the latest sci-fi film. But scientists have developed contact lenses that allow people to see in the dark. Unlike night vision goggles, these lenses do not require a ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For the first time, astronomers using data from the Keck II ...

Invention can make an object appear to have the same temperature as its background Scientists have developed a thin, lightweight and flexible film that can outfox infrared cameras, allowing hot bodies ...

Researchers have moved one step closer to the goal of flexible, low-cost, lightweight solar cells made of plastic. They’ve created the first polymer-based photovoltaic material that can harness a part ...

Speaker one Minus 273 degrees Celsius is the lowest possible temperature. It’s called absolute zero. Any object with a temperature above this will emit and absorb infrared radiation, even the Earth.

The rats had no reduction in their ability to "feel" things as a result US researchers have effectively given laboratory rats a "sixth sense" using an implant in their brains. An experimental device ...
