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

This technology has been really well developed, but only in the visible spectrum, leaving untapped opportunities for technologies in both the ultraviolet and infrared regions of the ...

The electromagnetic spectrum is displayed in Figure 1. The NIR region ranges from 780 to 2500 nm and sits between the visible region (higher energy) and the infrared region (lower energy). Figure 1.

A system that integrates all these techniques within a unified platform offers highly valuable versatility, enabling ...

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.
