A pair of night-vision glasses would change the way we navigate the late hours, from driving to walking home in the dark. This vision is nearer to reality, as researchers simplify how light is ...

Lenses made from the atom-thick 'wonder material' could be used in phones or even contact lenses to make night vision available for all James Vincent Friday 21 March 2014 15:14 GMT ...

But unlike night vision goggles, the contact lenses do not require a power source. They work by converting the infrared light so that it can be seen by the wearer as either red, green or blue light.

Super-slim night-vision tech could be within reach thanks to a new material breakthrough that can capture infrared and visible light at the same time. When you purchase through links on our site ...

“It’s totally clear cut: without the contact lenses, the subject cannot see anything, but when they put them on, they can clearly see the flickering of the infrared light,” Xue added.

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 ...

Nobody has made night-vision contact lenses yet… but here’s a glimpse at how that technology might work, if it ever comes to be. University researchers have created a super-light, super-thin ...

Contact lenses have enabled people to see beyond the visible light range, picking up flickers of infrared light even in the dark – or with their eyes closed. The lenses contain engineered ...
