When a beam of infrared light strikes their ultra-thin lens—barely ... The researchers didn’t just bend light; they changed its color by harnessing a property called “second-harmonic generation.” That ...

Unlike night-vision goggles, which can only see infrared light in green, people wearing the contacts can see infrared light in red, blue and green wavelengths. Because visible light is blocked by ...

A new filter for infrared light could see scanning and screening technology tumble in price and size. Built on nanotechnology ...

Beyond merely detecting infrared light, the team took another step, enabling color differentiation within the infrared range. They developed special nanoparticles capable of converting specific ...

Participants could also see visible light alongside the infrared, since the lenses are ... their approach might even help people with color blindness by converting the visible colors they can ...

New lenses turn invisible infrared light into visible images, a study found. Humans can now see in the dark -- and even with their eyes closed -- using nanotechnology contact lenses that turn ...

An additional tweak to the contact lenses allows users to differentiate between different spectra of infrared light by engineering the nanoparticles to color-code different infrared wavelengths.

Chinese researchers have developed an infrared contact lens that makes night vision possible. Nanoparticles make the previously invisible light range visible to the human eye.
