Infrared News Cloaking device makes objects invisible -- to infrared light anyway
though neither the cloak nor the bump was there. The cloak was designed to make objects invisible to infrared light, but the work paves the way for more advanced materials capable of cloaking objects in visible wavelengths. Some scientists believe

Infrared News Scientists reveal how snakes 'see' at night
pythons have so-called pit organs between the eye and the nostril that can sense even tiny amounts of infrared radiation - heat - in their surroundings. Among pit vipers, the western diamondback rattlesnake, native to northern Mexico and southwestern
