Using IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists identify hundreds of obscured black holes hidden behind gas and dust.

Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the ...

In a joint experimental-theoretical work, a team of researchers, including theorists from UC San Diego, have shown for the ...

Here's a tour that begins with radio waves and takes you through microwaves, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, and X-rays. The tour ends with gamma rays, the potentially deadly ...

Short-wave infrared radiation (SWIR) is roughly the part of the electromagnetic spectrum between 1.4 μm – 3 μm, or 100 THz – 214 THz. This places it between visible light and microwaves ...

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

"The timing couldn't be better. So many fields nowadays rely on sensing infrared radiation that the technology has become part of our everyday lives," says Savin. Savin and the rest of the team ...

Recently, the group of Prof. Labao Zhang of Nanjing University, together with the group of researcher Haiyong Gan of the National Institute of Metrology, China, have developed a new thermal radiation ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE combined science students studying how different surfaces affect infrared intensity, and the Earth's temperature. If you struggled with the quiz ...
