There are a bunch of dedicated devices that literally lift the veil of darkness to reveal a secret nocturnal world. Some ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Night vision is typically monotone—everything the wearer can see ...

Researchers have moved one step closer to the goal of flexible, low-cost, lightweight solar cells made of plastic. They’ve created the first polymer-based photovoltaic material that can harness a part ...

InVisage's new image sensor for infrared cameras could help drones avoid trees and could aid virtual reality headsets in seeing where you're pointing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

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 ...

Galaxies like our Milky Way grew through cascading mergers of smaller galaxies that began billions of years ago. The ancient progenitors of galaxies like ours were small galaxies similar to modern-day ...

Night vision could be available to everyone in the coming future. The possibility comes after ultra-thin nanocrystals are letting even typical glasses see infrared light — which helps in having a ...

Much like some snakes use infrared to 'see' at night, researchers are working to create similar viper vision to improve the sensitivity of night-vision cameras. Much like some snakes use infrared to ...

Humans didn’t discover the presence of infrared light until well into the 1800s, and it’s taken us significantly longer to begin to crack what this portion of the visible light spectrum means. But ...

The cosmic record breaker has now been confirmed by astronomers, who see that the James Webb Space Telescope has detected what could possibly be the earliest supernova, the light of which was observed ...
