Many devices use infrared (IR) as a signalling medium like, for example, RGB LED strip controllers modules and some TV controllers. Often times these signals aren’t meant for secure applications which ...

Infrared spectrometers are expensive and powerful instruments scientists use to analyze the chemical makeup of a sample, and a new research project has demonstrated what this technology might look ...

Scientists have discovered how to electrically power insulating nanoparticles using organic molecules that act like tiny antennas. These hybrids generate extremely pure near-infrared light, ideal for ...

Rohm Semiconductor has extended its PICOLED family with the launch of the CSL1501RW ultra-compact side-emitting (side view) infrared LED (IR LED). Target applications include head-mounted displays, ...

According to board-certified dermatologist Melanie Palm, red light therapy can be used to treat skin on this hardworking area ...

This color smart bulb enhances the night vision of your security cameras through infrared LEDs, even when it’s turned off. LIFX has taken its top-notch Wi-Fi color LED smart bulb and added a terrific ...

I'm not someone who trends toward experimental wellness therapy. I have never done cryotherapy, I have no interest in getting a colon cleanse, and the idea of fire cupping kind of freaks me out. So ...

Debuting as the first member of a family of infrared (IR) emitters, the OD-850W gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) LED features a wide-emission angle and an optical output of 40 mW at 100 mA with a ...

Compared to incandescent lightbulbs, LEDs produce a lot more lumens per watt of input power — they’re more efficient at producing light. Of course, that means that incandescent light bulbs are more ...
