DefenceTalkDefenceTalkArmy-funded research developed a new microwave radiation sensor with 100,000 times higher sensitivity than currently available commercial sensors. Researchers said better detection of microwave radiation will enable improved thermal imaging, electronic warfare, radio communications and radar. Researchers published their study in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. The team includes scientists from Harvard University, The Institute of […]https://www.defencetalk.com/sensor-with-100000-times-higher-sensitivity-could-bolster-thermal-imaging-76426/

DefenceTalkMovies such as 1987’s “Predator,” in which an alien who sees in the infrared hunts down Arnold Schwarzenegger and his team, introduced a generation of sci-fi fans to thermal imaging. Since then, heat-sensing devices have found many real-word applications but have remained relatively expensive and rigid. But a new development featuring graphene, reported in ACS’ […]https://www.defencetalk.com/graphene-could-take-night-vision-technology-beyond-predator-65774/
