Automatic Soap Dispensers designed for use with liquid soap are now widely available, and you may well know that the hands free operation reduces the spread of germs. How about building one your own?

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

From self-driving cars to facial recognition, infrared sensors are all around us and our novel semiconductor research is taking this technology to the next level. Phlux - a Sheffield spinout -has ...

[ladyada] has a freshly-published and amazingly thorough tutorial on passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors. Most often seen in security floodlights and automatic doors, in creative hands these sensors ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say they have developed low-cost infrared sensors that can be used to create the world’s thinnest night-vision glasses as well as revolutionize ...
