The amazing canine nose is more impressive than we thought, demonstrating the ability to detect weak infrared radiation from a distance, according to new research. The rhinarium—the cold, wet, bare ...

New research developed a new microwave radiation sensor with 100,000 times higher sensitivity than currently available commercial sensors. Researchers said better detection of microwave radiation will ...

Wireless real-time radiation sensor networks offer the general public and those that work in high radiation areas greater protection against radiation hazards. Combined with real-time localized and ...

Engineers have developed HADAR, or heat-assisted detection and ranging. Researchers at Purdue University are advancing the world of robotics and autonomy with their patent-pending method that improves ...

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Dogs have a type of infrared sensor in the tip of their nose which enables them to detect minute changes in temperature such as when other animals are nearby, according to new ...

The D6T non-contact MEMS thermal sensor from Omron can reliably detect the presence of humans in an area, even if they aren’t moving (see the figure). This type of thermal sensor is an alternative to ...

Temperature is one of the most frequently measured parameters, and with good reason. Temperature serves as an important indicator of the condition of an object in machinery, medical diagnostics, ...

To make the breakthrough, the team at the university’s Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre (iNANO) developed a transparent layer embedded with silver nanorings that automatically adapts to sunlight ...
