People who tested a new type of designer contact lens could see flashing infrared signals from a light source. Humans have a new way of seeing infrared light, without the need for clunky night-vision ...

“Over half of the solar radiation energy, existing as infrared light, remains imperceptible to humans,” comments Dr. Yuqian Ma, a researcher at the University of Science and Technology of China. But, ...

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 ...

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