far-infrared
Beyond visible warmth
Far-infrared refers to the portion of the infrared spectrum with the longest wavelengths, bordering on microwaves.
In physics and astronomy, far-infrared radiation reveals cool objects like dust clouds and distant galaxies invisible to optical telescopes.
In wellness marketing, far-infrared saunas claim therapeutic benefits from this gentle radiant heat, though evidence remains limited.
