IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light ...

Harvard researchers have discovered that cycads—one of the oldest living lineages of seed plants—heat up their reproductive organs to attract beetle pollinators and the insects possess infrared ...

An international research team led by Drexel University found that thin coatings of MXene nanomaterials can enhance a material’s ability to trap or shed heat. MXenes, a two dimensional material first ...
