The eruption released energy six times greater than all Earth's power plants combined, exceeding 80,000 trillion watts.

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 ...

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

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

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, ...

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 ...
