A thermal metasurface is made of a single layer of nanostructured silicon (gray) on top of glass (blue) and a metal mirror (gold). The nanostructured surface is specifically tailored so that it ...

A team of scientists has solved a long-standing problem in thermal imaging, making it possible to capture clear images of objects through hot windows. A team of Rice University scientists has solved a ...

A team of engineers and material scientists in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder has developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way ...

For centuries, mankind's greatest technological leaps have begun with a simple act: observing nature. Our desire to fly high was inspired by birds' ability to soar the skies. Our fascination with ...

A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light is set to improve thermal imaging and infrared thermography. A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light, developed in the lab of ...

In the 1930s, primitive devices were invented to capture heat and make all heated objects visible in the dark. Almost 100 years later, these devices became modern thermal imagers, which have become ...
