Infrared light is all around us, yet we can’t see it. That’s because the visible spectrum is only a very narrow band of the entire range of electromagnetic radiation we know as light. If you think of ...

Researchers demonstrate the conversion of infrared images to the visible, using ultrathin and transparent semiconductor nanocrystals. The demand for detecting infrared (IR) light, invisible to human ...

Capturing photos beyond the visible spectrum is challenging and requires special gear, but the creative payoff is worth it. Here are some of my favorite infrared shots and tips to get you started.

Thermal imaging cameras, or infrared cameras, are unlike the cameras found in your smartphone. A typical camera observes the wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum that bounce off objects and ...

Infrared imaging helps us see things the human eye cannot. The technology—which can make visible body heat, gas leaks or water content, even through smoke or darkness—is used in military surveillance, ...

In a new study published in Science, researchers have developed a new method for detecting infrared light by changing its frequency to a corresponding frequency in the range of visible light.
