Ceramic, rubber, and most electrical tape and conductor insulation have relatively high emissivities as well. Aluminum bus, however, is very reflective, and so are copper and some kinds of stainless ...

Thermal binoculars are often associated with hunting, but their applications extend far beyond tracking games.

People may no longer need sunshine to harvest solar power. Researchers from University of New South Wales (UNSW) have found a way to generate electricity using the Earth's radiant infrared heat, ...

High-performance thermal imaging technology typically involves using cryogenically cooled devices. In the future, detectors based on arrays of tiny optical resonators could lead to sensitive ...
