In October of 1957, the USSR launched the world's first artificial satellite into orbit around Earth. Today, we're combining ...

New laser to shine light on remote sensing Date: April 5, 2016 Source: University of Adelaide Summary: A revolutionary new type of laser is promising major advances in remote sensing of greenhouse ...

Remote sensing is the science of investigating aspects of the environment from a distance, typically using instruments aboard aircraft or satellites. It often involves monitoring conditions not ...

Light sensors detect the presence or absence of light, and the intensity of that light. These sensors then convert light energy into an electrical signal, which can be analyzed or lead to further ...

High-accuracy spatially and temporally resolved temperature sensing is critical and has broad applications in diverse fields, such as industrial manufacturing, environmental protection, and ...

Imec has integrated a pinned photodiode structure in thin-film image sensors. With the addition of a pinned-photogate and a transfer gate, the superior absorption qualities of thin-film imagers ...

Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. The study is published in Advanced Materials.

In their experiment, the researchers used the dual-based IR remote sensing system to observe the spectral curves of the sun and airplanes in flight from distances up to 6 kilometers (4 miles).
