There are lots of smart home systems that will let you blast your older dumb appliances with infrared to control them. However, many are tied to ugly cloud systems that can frustrate you on a regular ...

Like with a new Raspberry Pi or Arduino, you'll soon be doing things that amaze you.  A question I've seen a lot is whether someone should get a Cardputer Adv, a Raspberry Pi, or a Flipper Zero. Let's ...

Infrared spectroscopy under strong magnetic fields is a powerful tool for probing quantum phenomena, but its potential has been constrained by a persistent technical bottleneck: the lack of in-situ ...

Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...

The game picks up as Dylan’s former captors, the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), are deploying him at the peak of a supernatural crisis to combat a mysterious cosmic entity. Per the official logline, ...

Confusing to set up and use. Can’t learn missing IR commands. Voice function is still very limited. When Logitech signaled the end of the universal remote era by announcing the death of its Harmony ...

Schematic of the TCM–MWG–TED structure. The upper thermochromic (TCM) layer provides visible camouflage with high transparency in the 8–14 μm mid-infrared range. The middle layer consists of a ...

You'd think a remote control technology that was first introduced in the 1980s would be completely obsolete by now. But infrared (IR) remotes are still very much kicking half a century later, despite ...

Lately, I’ve been messing around with the Flipper Zero, creating custom infrared remotes to control various devices. That tinkering sparked my curiosity about how IR codes actually work at the signal ...

Whether you're searing steaks in a cast-iron skillet, calibrating a pizza oven, or checking the temperature on HVAC equipment, a reliable infrared thermometer is a necessity not only for accuracy but ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Electronic Wizard] has released a video that explains how infrared (IR) remote controllers work: IR Remote Controllers protocol: 101 to advanced. This video covers the NEC ...
