Summer is officially in full swing, delivering hot temperatures, longer days and the long-awaited arrival of vacation season.

A team of scientists from China have created contact lenses that can help people to see in the dark. These new lenses allow people to see infrared light, which is normally invisible to the human ...

After showing that the contact lenses were non-toxic, they tested their function in both humans and mice. They found that contact lens-wearing mice displayed behaviors suggesting that they could see ...

Currently, contact lenses can only detect strong infrared radiation, such as that emitted by LED sources. However, researchers are working to boost their sensitivity, allowing wearers to perceive ...

The all-new infrared contact lenses. Professor Tian Xue, a neuroscientist at the University of Science and Technology of China who led the study, said the work could lead to a variety of contact ...

Microscopic nanoparticles were embedded into a soft, transparent polymer commonly used in standard contact lenses.. By absorbing infrared light, the particles convert it into visible red, green, and ...

Researchers create contact lenses that let you see in the dark, even with your eyes closed. ... For example, 980 nm infrared became blue, 808 nm turned red, and 1532 nm showed up as green.

But unlike night vision goggles, the contact lenses do not require a power source. They work by converting the infrared light so that it can be seen by the wearer as either red, green or blue light.
