Unlike traditional night-vision goggles, which rely on image-intensifier tubes and require battery power, the new lenses absorb low-frequency infrared light and re-emit it within the visible spectrum.

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 ...

The contact lenses in question are made with nanoparticles which absorb infrared light, and as Phys.org, which spotted this invention, points out, specifically this is near-infrared light (NIR ...

An additional tweak to the contact lenses allows users to differentiate between different spectra of infrared light by engineering the nanoparticles to color-code different infrared wavelengths ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. Night vision (thermal) is ...

The James Webb Space Telescope uses infrared spectroscopy to analyze the composition of exoplanetary atmospheres. By measuring the light passing through a planet's atmosphere, it can identify the ...

James Webb and future infrared telescopes could soon be finding these signatures regularly. “If we start finding methyl halides on multiple planets, it would suggest that microbial life is ...

Another study found that people who took vitamin D and calcium beta-hydroxy methyl butyrate monohydrate (CaHMB) for about 12 weeks, with or without working out, saw increased muscle volume.

In an exclusive excerpt from his new memoir, the co-founder of Microsoft describes his ‘lucky’ adolescence and his parents’ support for what he now sees as his own neurodivergence.
