Abstract
Conventional forward-looking infrared (FLIR) devices made of a cooled platinum silicide, cooled mercury-cadmium-telluride, or indium antimonide are costly, in part, because they require an initial cool-down period and need additional power for a cooling pump. Using proteins and DNAs in an uncooled microbolometer will significantly improve the performance of the current technology.
