There are myriad ways to mis-measure and misrepresent heat, which can lead to confusion and inaction when it comes to ...

In an exclusive interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, which will air on NBC Nightly News on Tuesday, the crew — billionaire ...

NASA's newest climate mission has started collecting data on the amount of heat in the form of far-infrared radiation that ...

What are the side effects of pager/mobile radiation? How do you protect yourself from pager/mobile phone burn?

The material contained in this workshop may not be the most current. How We Lose Heat to the Environment Radiation - loss of heat to the environment due to the temperature gradient (this occurs only ...

NASA's PREFIRE mission tracks polar heat emissions to improve climate predictions and uncover the mysteries of far-infrared ...

The Southland’s bout with extreme heat may be nearing a break, finally, but some of the effects may stick around in your ...

Thermal radiation—a form of electromagnetic waves generated by heat-driven random fluctuations in matter—is inherently broadband in nature, consisting of many colors. A good example is the ...

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength longer than about 700 nanometers won’t activate rhodopsin, and IR generated from body heat is around 9,300 nm. In fact, no known protein is activated ...

A team of scientists found that mosquitoes may be able to sense our heat signatures using infrared detection. The infrared radiation from a source that is about the same temperature of human skin ...

So the authors wondered if mosquitoes could detect a more reliable directional cue, like infrared radiation. Within about 10 cm, these insects can detect the heat rising from our skin. And they ...
