While a mosquito bite is often no more than a temporary bother, in many parts of the world it can be scary. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, spreads the viruses that cause over 100,000,000 cases ...

In fact, his team found the same thing in tests with only IR: infrared alone has no impact. A trick for sensing infrared It isn't possible for mosquitoes to detect thermal infrared radiation the same ...

An international team of researchers has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial -- could enhance a material's ability to trap or shed heat. The discovery, which ...

Far‐infrared radiation (FIR) therapy has emerged as a promising non‐invasive modality that harnesses long‐wavelength infrared energy to stimulate biological processes vital for tissue repair, vascular ...

A new study published in Science shows that these plants—called cycads—use infrared radiation from heat as a signal to ...

Harvard researchers have discovered that cycads—one of the oldest living lineages of seed plants—heat up their reproductive organs to attract beetle pollinators and the insects possess infrared ...

Osaka, Japan – Getting a molecule to do what you want it to do is not always easy. As an example, an organic molecule will absorb only certain wavelengths of light based on its arrangement of ...

Researchers used theoretical calculations assessing electron orbital symmetry to synthesize new molecule designed to be both transparent and colorless while absorbing near-infrared light. This ...
