AVIRIS-5 is one of the newest tools in a joint research project from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) called GEMx. The project is designed to search for surface traces of critical minerals, ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

Stratio, a Korean deep-tech startup founded by three Stanford Ph.D. graduates, is introducing what it claims is the first germanium-based short-wave infrared sensor designed for large-scale commercial ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems. The key ...

DJI has announced the latest drone in its popular Mini lineup, the Mini 5 Pro. The new offering introduces a Type 1 sensor to the sub-250g series for the first time, promising pro-level imaging with ...

In recent decades, a quiet revolution has reshaped how we interact with the objects and systems in our daily lives. What once required cranks or rotary mechanisms, and later the press of a button, is ...

The visible light spectrum that humans perceive spans only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum — roughly 430 to 750 THz, corresponding to wavelengths of ~400-700 nm. Just beyond this range ...

Whether you're searing steaks in a cast-iron skillet, calibrating a pizza oven, or checking the temperature on HVAC equipment, a reliable infrared thermometer is a necessity not only for accuracy but ...

Sydney, Australia, seen through FireSat Protoflight's multispectral infrared sensors. FireSat identifies vegetation, moisture, and heat sources including urban heat islands (an industrial area in this ...

Military-grade infrared vision goggles use detectors made of mercury cadmium telluride, a semiconducting material that’s particularly sensitive to infrared radiation. Unfortunately, you need to keep ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...
