Infrared, which is essentially an electromagnetic radiation wave, has a wavelength in the range of approximately 0.78 to 1000 m. Since it is a light other than red light in visible light, it is named infrared. Any object with a temperature above absolute zero will radiate energy to the outside space in the form of infrared rays. Sensing technology that uses infrared radiation to measure related physical quantities is infrared sensing technology.
High strength steel tie rod are steel structural members made of carbon structural steel and alloy steel, processed by machining, heat treatment and surface anti-corrosion treatment, supplemented by adjusting sleeves, lock and joints etc. The steel tie rod are important components of steel structures for construction of giant, large span buildings and ship docks. They are mainly used for prestressed parts and large span buildings in construction projects. While the strength of the product is improved, but the plasticity index is not reduced, which satisfies the principle of using the same amount of strength in the architectural design. The tie rods, tie bars, tension rods and tension bars steel grades are specified as grade 460, grade 520, grade 550, grade 650, grade 785, grade 830, grade 930, grade 1080 etc.

Scientists at the University of Michigan have developed a new infrared sensor that can be used in contact lenses to provide night vision capabilities. According to reports, this sensor has the ability to capture visible light and infrared light, and sandwiches graphene between the lenses without the need for bulky cooling devices.
This infrared image sensor developed with graphene has only the size of a fingernail cover. Different from the common mid-infrared and far-infrared image sensors, the observation of the full-infrared spectrum at room temperature was first realized. Due to its small size and light weight, it can even be integrated into contact lenses or mobile phones. It is expected to find applications in many fields such as military, security, and medicine.
The wavelength of infrared rays is between 760 nm and 1 mm. It is a non-visible light with a wavelength longer than that of red light, and is classified into three types: near-infrared ray, medium-infrared ray, and far-infrared ray. Ordinary cameras require only one chip to capture visible light, while infrared imaging requires the simultaneous viewing of images in various near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared spectra. More challenging is that mid-infrared and far-infrared sensors usually have to operate at extremely low temperatures.
Researchers use graphene as a raw material. Graphene is a single-layer structure composed of carbon atoms that can detect infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light throughout the spectrum. However, due to the poor absorption of light by graphene (2.3%), it is not enough to generate enough electrical signals. Previous studies have been stalled. The biggest problem faced by the previous generation of graphene infrared sensors was that the sensitivity was too poor to meet the needs of commercial devices.
In order to overcome this obstacle, researchers have improved the process of generating electrical signals from graphene. According to related data, they have an insulating barrier layer between two graphene sheets, and the bottom layer has current through. When light strikes the top graphene, the device releases electrons, creating positively charged holes. Then, under the action of the quantum mechanism, electrons pass through the middle insulating layer and reach the bottom graphene layer. At this time, the positively charged holes left on the upper graphene will generate an electric field and affect the current of the lower graphene. By measuring the change in current, the brightness of the light shining on the upper graphene can be inferred.
The new method has brought the sensitivity of mid-infrared and far-infrared sensors to a new level for the first time, and is completely comparable to conventional infrared sensors that require a cooling device to operate. And the device is only one finger cover size, it is easy to achieve integration. If the detector can be integrated into contact lenses or other wearable electronic devices, it will hopefully provide people with a new way to interact with the environment. At the same time, this technology has opened up new possibilities for the application of infrared technology in military, security, medical, and other fields.
