Researchers at Beijing Institute of Technology, led by Xin Tang and Ge Mu, developed a device using mercury telluride quantum dots and a dual-layer OLED to translate infrared wavelengths into distinct visible colors, enabling full-color IR vision. This technology could lead to advanced night-vision and visual prosthetics.
In November 2004, US Navy Commander David Fravor encountered a mysterious 'Tic Tac' shaped object off the coast of California during a training mission. The object displayed extraordinary speed and maneuverability, defying known aviation technology and leaving pilots and radar operators without a confirmed explanation.
The CurrentBody Multi Light Therapy mask offers five modes for various skin concerns, including anti-ageing, clearing acne, and reducing pigmentation. While praised for its coverage and effectiveness, especially the clearing mode, its high price point of £499.99 is a significant drawback.
In November 2004, US Navy pilots and radar operators encountered an unidentified object off the coast of California. Retired Commander David Fravor described a "Tic Tac"-shaped craft with extraordinary performance, which responded to his maneuvers and disappeared rapidly. Infrared footage was captured, but the incident remains unexplained.
Low-emissivity (low-E) window glass, a green technology for energy efficiency, can inadvertently act like a magnifying glass due to slight bowing, focusing sunlight and heat to potentially ignite nearby property. While architects avoid this in large buildings, poorly manufactured domestic versions pose a risk.
Estudantes do Ensino Médio do Sesi-SP participaram da seletiva estadual da RoboCup Junior Soccer Infrared em Itu, onde robôs autônomos competiram em um torneio de futebol. A competição visa desenvolver habilidades técnicas e comportamentais dos alunos.
Analysis of UAP footage suggests an object may have achieved accelerations exceeding 600g, far beyond human or drone capabilities. Scientist Zhang notes a lack of hard data hinders scientific understanding.
The Pentagon released new declassified files, including infrared video appearing to show an F-16 jet destroying an unidentified aerial object over Lake Huron in February 2023. The footage is part of a larger batch of UAP-related records made public by the US government.
As a new Ebola outbreak spreads rapidly in the DRC, lessons from the 2018-2020 crisis in Butembo highlight challenges like insecurity, community mistrust, and the exploitation of the outbreak for political gain. The WHO's quicker declaration of a public health emergency this time reflects lessons learned, though the current Bundibugyo variant lacks specific vaccines.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, built using surplus spy satellite hardware from the National Reconnaissance Office, is set for September launch. The wide-field infrared observatory will capture 1.4 terabytes of data daily, survey dark energy and dark matter through baryon acoustic oscillations, and detect tens of thousands of exoplanets via microlensing. The mission is eight months ahead of schedule and under budget.
The grenade provides short-term concealment from high-precision weapons’ infrared detection through the formation of higher-temperature zones from high-windage flat pyroelements that settle down slowly
