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 ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ...

Jülich researchers, together with Italian and German colleagues, have developed a particularly cost-effective infrared detector that can be easily integrated into existing camera chips and smartphones ...

Tired of using bulky night vision goggles for your clandestine nocturnal activities? An interdisciplinary team of Chinese neuroscientists and materials scientists has developed near-infrared contact ...

(Nanowerk News) Research groups from Southeast University and Nanjing Normal University Achieve New Milestones in High-Performance Room Temperature Infrared Detection A research team led by Professors ...

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 ...

Red light therapy (RLT) involves exposing the body to low-wavelength red or near-infrared light (IRL). Red and near-IRL differ slightly in terms of wavelength and visibility. Red light is visible to ...

Sensor from German-Italian group makes visible two key ranges of infrared not previously revealed by regular photodiodes. Images of San Francisco Bay in visible light (l) and shortwave infrared (r).

Visible and infrared light can carry more data than radio waves, but has always been confined to a hard-wired, fiber-optic cable. A research team has now made a major advance toward the dream of ...
