Near-infrared (NIR) imaging has emerged as a pivotal tool in biomedicine, offering non-invasive visualization with enhanced tissue penetration and reduced background interference. Conventional ...

Half of the sun's radiant energy falls outside of the visible spectrum. On a cold day, this extra infrared light provides additional warmth to residential and commercial buildings. On a warm day, it ...

Assisted by quantum physics and machine learning, researchers have developed a transparent window coating that lets in visible light but blocks heat-producing UV and infrared. The coating not only ...
