A Japanese research team has "seen the light" and is utilizing infrared wavelengths to generate electricity, an untapped energy source that accounts for nearly half of solar energy striking the Earth.

The innovative hybrid cells combine two robust materials — perovskite and organic photo-semiconductors — to capture ...

A researcher has developed a new technique to detect long wave infrared (LWIR) photons of different wavelengths or 'colors.' The new detection and imaging technique will have applications in analyzing ...

University of Central Florida (UCF) researcher Debashis Chanda, a professor at UCF's NanoScience Technology Center, has ...

Infrared light exposure, which is similar but not the same as red light therapy, should be limited to no more than 20 minutes ...

From infrared blankets to handheld wands, these devices target sore and achy muscles to speed muscle recovery.

The emergence of convenient sources of broadband light spanning the visible and near-infrared is proving increasingly useful for applications involving spectroscopy, imaging and metrology ...

Schematic representation of infrared spectroscopy. First, a beam of IR light from the source is split into two and passed through the reference and the sample respectively. Now, both of these beams ...

Red light therapy (RLT) has emerged as a popular, non-invasive treatment for managing pain and improving overall health. This ...

Infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is an optical technique that detects molecular bond vibrations and rotations upon absorption of infrared light. Because different chemical functional groups ...

Rather than traditional heated air, the AirLight Pro uses infrared light—which can generate heat similar to the sun’s rays—and airflow to blow-dry hair. And if this sounds a bit like the ...
