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.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: New soft contact lenses use upconversion nanoparticles to convert infrared light into visible light. Unlike night-vision goggles, which can only see ...

The human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can’t see, has an even lower frequency than ...

Visible light shows only the uppermost layer of Jupiter’s atmosphere. Infrared observations reveal heat, structure, and ...

Scientists have developed a new method for detecting mid-infrared (MIR) light at room temperature using quantum systems. Scientists from the University of Birmingham and the University of Cambridge ...

Super-slim night-vision tech could be within reach thanks to a new material breakthrough that can capture infrared and visible light at the same time. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Our eyes take in the dazzling greens of dense forests, blues of alpine lakes, and reds and purples of sunset. Yet there’s an entire world hidden from sight. Our eyes only perceive a narrow sliver of ...

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of ...

When you unlock a phone, step into view of a security camera or drive past a license plate reader at night, beams of infrared ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light. Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz ...
