A single injection of nanoparticles in the mice's eyes bestowed infrared vision for up to 10 weeks with minimal side effects, allowing them to see infrared light even during the day and with enough ...

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 ...

The military and police sometimes spot people trying to hide by using cameras that detect the heat coming off their bodies. These devices work by detecting infrared light, which is emitted by hot ...

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 ...

There’s a whole world out there beyond the limits of human sight. Like most creatures, we have eyes are attuned to only a narrow portion of the electromagnetic spectrum—which becomes a serious ...

Photography is great, but sometimes it can get boring just reusing the same wavelengths over and over again. There are other options, though and when [Malcolm Wilson] decided he wanted to explore them ...

This is a super fun hack that’s been around for ages — but now with cheap full 1080P HD camera availability, it’s probably a good time to make your own infrared camera! It’s actually a very easy ...
