In a new study published in Science, researchers have developed a new method for detecting infrared light by changing its frequency to a corresponding frequency in the range of visible light.

Due to how light travels, we can only see the most eye-popping details of space—like nebulas, supernovas, and black holes—with specialized telescopes. Electromagnetic Spectrum: the visible range ...

Mice with vision enhanced by nanotechnology were able to see infrared light as well as visible light, reports a new study. A single injection of nanoparticles in the mice's eyes bestowed infrared ...

Infrared vision: Study participant putting a contact lens in their eye. (Courtesy: Yuqian Ma, Yunuo Chen, Hang Zhao) A new contact lens enables humans to see near-infrared light without night vision ...

With an injection of nanoscale devices as fine as grains of pollen, two biotechnology researchers have given mice the ability to detect near-infrared light—something long believed possible only for a ...

They spend all day baking in the sun, but that doesn't mean solar panels capture all the light that hits them. Generally speaking, solar cells are capable of harnessing visible light for energy ...
