People who tested a new type of designer contact lens could see flashing infrared signals from a light source. Humans have a new way of seeing infrared light, without the need for clunky night-vision ...

NASA's SPHEREx has mapped the entire sky in 102 infrared colors, revealing hidden details about galaxies and the early ...

TL;DR: Scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed nanoparticle-infused contact lenses that enable night vision without the need for any power source. These lenses ...

Humans didn’t discover the presence of infrared light until well into the 1800s, and it’s taken us significantly longer to begin to crack what this portion of the visible light spectrum means. But ...

While infrared light is invisible to most animals, there are some, including salmon, bullfrogs and snakes, that can see in ...

When you unlock a phone, step into view of a security camera or drive past a license plate reader at night, beams of infrared light - invisible to the naked eye — shine onto the unique contours of ...

The three-dimensional view will help scientists learn more about the origins of life in the Milky Way galaxy and how the universe’s hundreds of millions of galaxies have changed over time ...

Our eyes take in the dazzling greens of dense forests, blues of alpine lakes, and reds and purples of sunset. Yet there’s an entire world hidden from sight. Our eyes only perceive a narrow sliver of ...

Researchers in China have developed a pair of contact lenses that can help people see infrared light, potentially giving wearers functional night vision. The lenses were tested on both mice and humans ...

Humans have a new way of seeing infrared light, without the need for clunky night-vision goggles. Researchers have made the first contact lenses to convey infrared vision — and the devices work even ...

Scientists have developed revolutionary contact lenses that grant wearers the ability to see infrared light—a feat humans naturally cannot achieve. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal Cell00454 ...
