Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector.

FPAs are image sensors that convert infrared light into electrical signals to produce real-time thermal images and are widely ...

When living cells grow, divide or respond to drugs, they give off tiny amounts of heat that offer information about what the cells are doing. But because these heat signals are so vanishingly small, ...

Pico-calorimeter could offer new views of cell metabolism, rapid antibiotic testing. (Nanowerk News) When living cells grow, divide, or respond to drugs, they give off tiny amounts of heat that offer ...

Sharp rise in hospital visits will in turn drive up annual healthcare costs for heat-related conditions to over $1bn People in the US are poised to endure another summer of unusually ferocious heat ...

A long-duration heat wave is taking shape over the western half of the U.S. and is forecast to stick around in the days ahead. A high-pressure system in place over the West is keeping precipitation ...

This tiny chip can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and could one day sit inside the core of a nuclear reactor, delivering critical real-time data. Reading time 2 minutes Generating nuclear ...

The ability to sense heat protects the body from burns and injury. But how the body actually feels temperature has remained an elusive mystery. Now, Northwestern University researchers have captured a ...

The United States has entered the peak of summer and a heat dome — sealing in all that hot, humid air — is making millions of people feel every bit of it. Some cities could notch their highest ...

For home HVAC systems, heat pumps seem to be the way of the future. When compared to electric heating they can be three to four times more efficient, and they don’t directly burn fossil fuels. They ...
