In order to effectively shoot infrared photographs with a regular camera, you need to perform what is known as an infrared conversion. This means opening up the camera and fully removing or replacing ...

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 ...

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 Cell00454 ...

“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,” said Xue.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: New soft contact lenses use upconversion nanoparticles to convert infrared light into visible light. Unlike night-vision goggles, which can only see ...

It certainly sounds like something from a new sci-fi series, but a power-free set of contact lenses impregnated with nanoparticles has proven successful in allowing humans to see what has previously ...

Berly McCoy and Regina Barber of Short Wave talk about a hawk's clever hunting strategy, contacts that allow wearers to see infrared light, and how immunity varies during the day. It's time for our ...
