Harvard researchers have discovered that cycads—one of the oldest living lineages of seed plants—heat up their reproductive ...

Synchrotron radiation sources generate highly brilliant light pulses, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays, which can be used ...

Inspired by snake pit organs, we propose a CMOS-integrated upconverter system achieving room-temperature, 4K ...

The ability to detect infrared radiation is the basis of any infrared thermal imaging technology. All objects emit infrared radiation as a function of their temperature; the detection of such ...

An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene — a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade ...

A spectrometer that directly detects the vibrational “fingerprint” of molecules offers a sensitive new way of deducing a material’s chemical make-up. The device, which was developed by researchers in ...

An international team of researchers has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial -- could enhance a material's ability to trap or shed heat. The discovery, which ...
