Researchers have developed a tiny, electrically tunable infrared filter that could help shrink bulky thermal sensing systems ...

Scientists in Australia have created a tiny device that could transform the way we detect pollution, monitor health, and ...

The frequency regime lying in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) has very unique properties that make it ideal for several applications, such as being less affected by atmospheric scattering as well as ...

Near-infrared light has been quietly powering at-home red light therapy devices for years, but CES 2026 changed the ...

Researchers have developed an innovative photodetector capable of detecting a broad range of mid-infrared spectra. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) utilizes mid-infrared spectroscopy to ...

The human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can't see, has an even lower frequency than ...

CES 2026 put near-infrared light into hair tools, face masks and laptop clips. Here's what that means for your daily routine.

Learn the science behind why combining red light LEDs and infrared lasers is the most effective approach for deep-tissue ...

A novel dispersion-compensation scheme based on double-chirped Bragg mirrors is implemented in a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser. As a result, stable and broadband frequency combs are generated, ...

Supercontinuum generation makes use of the nonlinear optical effects arising from the interaction of light with the bound electronic states in crystal lattices and has many applications, especially in ...

Punch-drunk syndrome, boxer’s madness, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The name has changed over the years, but the cause is clear: repeated impacts can affect long-term brain health, with ...

Ag 2 Te colloidal quantum dot SWIR photodiodes on the left and solution-processed Ag 2 Te quantum dots on the right. The frequency regime lying in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) has very unique ...
