Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

The robot uses a whopping 32 IR sensors to follow a black line across a concrete workshop floor, adjusting its path using a steering motor salvaged from a power wheelchair. An Arduino Mega Pro ...

and up to infrared light with a wavelength of 2,000 nm. The researchers say this is the first time that a single image sensor has been capable of detecting light across such a wide spectrum at once.

For a clothing store, a shin-level IR sensor might be enough to detect people entering and exiting the store. However, some applications require more than one sensor to detect and gain context ...

This sensitivity means that the sensor can be used for spectroscopy, detecting the narrow bands of the infrared spectrum that are absorbed or emitted by specific chemical groups; conventional IR ...

Removing those tips proved that mosquitoes would not be able to detect IR. However, that’s not strong enough a sensor to allow the Aedes aegypti to see IR in the dark at up to 70 cm. They ...
