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 ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...

Tired of using bulky night vision goggles for your clandestine nocturnal activities? An interdisciplinary team of Chinese neuroscientists and materials scientists has developed near-infrared contact ...

Chromium doped lithium aluminate converts mechanical stress into near infrared light without pre charging or afterglow, enabling precise sensing and imaging in security and biomedical applications.

A project at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has developed a contact lens allowing wearers to perceive near-IR wavelengths and see better in the dark. Described in Cell, the ...
