A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has invented a novel camouflage technique that effectively hides thermal and electronic sensors without compromising performance.

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans ...

Military-grade thermal sensor systems can spot otherwise well-hidden soldiers from as far as a mile away. Over the past decade, advanced infrared weapons sensors have become less expensive and easier ...

Why heat flux (flow) is an important thermal parameter. How researchers have developed an innovative heat-flux sensor. Details on the performance of this sensor in flat and curved situations. We know ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...
