Scientists Develop Infrared Contacts That Enable Sci-Fi-Style Night Vision—Even With Eyes Closed

Scientists have developed an innovative new night vision technology that converts near-infrared light to visible light using specialized contact lenses.  In recent tests involving mice and humans, these newly developed lenses successfully demonstrated the ability to allow mice to see both visible and near-infrared light, without relying on any outside power source. The new technology is reminiscent of the visual systems depicted in popular scien…

It is a developing innovation by researchers from the United States and China. They published the first results in Cell magazine after doing experiments on animals and humans. What are the challenges?

A team of researchers has designed revolutionary contact lenses for humans that allow infrared light to be seen thanks to nanoparticles.

Here’s how you could soon be able to see in the dark – even with your eyes closed – Usa news

A special contact lens could bring wearers closer to super-sight (Picture: Getty) It’s already possible for technology to see in the dark: just think of a baby monitor, a wildlife camera, or night vision goggles. But now, scientists have invented a contact lens that lets humans ‘see’ in the dark, even with their eyes closed. It detects infrared light, which is a part of the spectrum usually invisible to humans, using tiny nanoparticles embedded …

Research into contact lenses that help people see in the dark opens up the potential for creating devices that give people superhuman vision.

Lentils can even improve visual perception of people with daltonism A team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China has developed lenses capable of converting infrared light, invisible to the human eye, into visible light, which allows to perceive a spectrum of radiation hitherto inaccessible without bulky devices or external power supplies. Lentils, called UCL (upward conversion contact lenses), function thanks to a…
