Infrared Chip Boosts Gas and Heat Detection
✦AI Summary
MIT researchers have developed a new chip-based optical device that acts as a tunable lens for infrared cameras. This technology allows for dynamic thermal imaging and chemical sensing without the need for bulky, expensive hardware.
Infrared cameras can be used to spot useful information that our eyes can't see, such as gases escaping from a pipeline, chemicals in the atmosphere, or heat leaking from a building. But sensing infrared light in sophisticated ways still requires expensive and bulky systems.
