Dogs have a type of infrared sensor in the tip of their nose which enables them to detect minute changes in temperature such as when other animals are nearby, according to new research. Scientists ...

Scientists have discovered what they describe as an "entirely new sense" in dogs, observing how their wet nose tips can be used to sense heat from nearby objects, much like a thermal infrared sensor.

At $200, Seek Thermal is more affordable and smaller, and offers higher infrared resolution (206 x 156). Sadly, though, Seek doesn't merge heat images with actual photos.

Snakes evolved infrared “vision” twice. The older boids, a class that includes boas and pythons, have pits lined with heat sensors along their upper and lower jaws.

Infrared imaging helps us see things the human eye cannot. The technology—which can make visible body heat, gas leaks or ...

The Hot Spot Infrared Sensor is a non-contact pyrometer using advanced infrared technology to provide fast and accurate measurement of product temperature without having to come in contact with it.

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object ...
