Scientists have created eco-friendly “quantum inks” that can replace toxic metals in infrared detectors. The breakthrough could make night vision faster, cleaner, and more accessible to a wider range ...

A layered graphene and chromium oxychloride device functions as a broadband optical synapse, detecting visible to deep infrared light and learning image orientation through built-in memory.

Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” ...

The NYU answer was to use a solution-phase ligand exchange (SPLE) technique to create the silver selenide sensors, the first time this approach had been taken. This solution-based process yields ...

AI can help farmers be more effective and sustainable, but its use varies from state to state. A project in Georgia aims to bring the technology to the state’s cotton farmers.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising non-invasive neuroimaging technique that works by detecting changes in blood oxygenation linked to neural activity using near-infrared ...

A research team has discovered how to finely control Dirac plasmon polaritons in topological insulator metamaterials, overcoming long-standing challenges in the terahertz range. In today’s world of ...

The global solar boom has introduced a new urgency around asset durability, performance, and risk. As utility-scale solar farms become more common, so do ...
