Finally, the tellurium meshes, especially the infrared vision capability they offered, were tested on healthy macaques, an ...

Newer techniques using nanoparticles are less invasive, but some need bright visible light, which can harm any remaining ...

During tests, the formerly blind mice performed nearly as well as sighted mice in pattern recognition tasks. Potential first step toward bionic eyes, with infrared ‘super sight’ ...

Researchers say the infrared lenses may also help people with color blindness Cara Lynn Shultz is a writer-reporter at PEOPLE. Her work has previously appeared in Billboard and Reader's Digest ...

A new prosthesis for the retina weaved with nanowires partially restored vision in blind mice and allowed detection of near-infrared light in macaques, according to a new study. The new technology ...

Infrared contact lenses using nanoparticles convert near-infrared (800–1600 nm) into visible light, enabling users to perceive infrared wavelengths without external power.

To test the TeNWN device in a primate it was implanted in a crab-eating macaque monkey, where the nanoprosthesis was tightly bound to the retina in the subretinal space and generated robust ...

A new prosthesis for the retina weaved with nanowires partially restored vision in blind mice and allowed detection of near-infrared light in macaques, according to a new study.

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 ...

This gold-tinted technique bypasses those photoreceptors by focusing infrared light directly on the nanoparticles, which in turn generate heat that activates the bipolar and ganglion cells.
