Infrared Radiation: Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light, typically from 0.7 µm to 1 mm, which is associated with heat.

“Infrared heat elevates the body’s core temperature 2 to 4 degrees,” says Bray, “so it creates a ‘false fever’ effect, which, ...

Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we ...

Infrared (IR) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than visible light, but shorter wavelengths than radio light. Mid-IR sits in the middle of the infrared spectrum, ...

Known as Sgr A* – pronounced “Sagittarius A star” – the supermassive black hole is four million times the mass of the sun and is known to exhibit flares that can be observed in multiple wavelengths, ...

A team of scientists including the University of Toronto's Bart Ripperda and Braden Gail - assistant professor and graduate student, respectively, at ...

The new technology captures infrared photons very efficiently and works well across a wide range of wavelengths. The new photodiodes can be readily fabricated ... So many fields nowadays rely on ...

A presenter-led science video showing how to investigate infrared radiation, with Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Dr Alex Lathbridge. The video investigates emissions of infrared radiation and then ...
