I grew up reading Superman comic books. One of his superpowers was X-ray vision. He could see through opaque objects to detect danger. I was mesmerized by this power. What would you say if I told you ...

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 ...

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 ...

Anduril has acquired a maker of cooled infrared cameras and components in a move to become a merchant supplier of those systems and further build out its portfolio of sensing technologies. Founded in ...

Modern Windows PCs often include some kind of biometric hardware, mainly in the form of facial recognition (using infrared cameras) or fingerprint scanning. Both of these features let you use Windows ...

Capturing photos beyond the visible spectrum is challenging and requires special gear, but the creative payoff is worth it. Here are some of my favorite infrared shots and tips to get you started.

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 ...

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 ...
