Raytheon has demonstrated a new type of infrared camera that ditches the conventional approach of capturing full video frames, instead recording only the pixels that change from one instant to the ...

Fujitsu has developed a high-sensitivity and high-resolution infrared sensor to expand monitoring capabilities in the defense and disaster prevention fields. This sensor is a Type-II superlattice ...

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

A technology that enables the fabrication of "ultra-miniature infrared sensors" in desired shapes and sizes using room-temperature three-dimensional (3D) printing has been developed for the first time ...

A team from the Northeastern University has developed a sensor that requires almost no power to work and operate. Made for the US Department of Defense's Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects ...

Oil and gas production and work in confined spaces exposes field personnel to a variety of toxic and explosive gases in everyday drilling, processing, transport, and municipal operations. Explosive ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...
