Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. (Nanowerk News) ...
Humans didn’t discover the presence of infrared light until well into the 1800s, and it’s taken us significantly longer to begin to crack what this portion of the visible light spectrum means. But ...
The research was published in the Cell journal They enable infrared vision in humans and mice The lenses do not require a power source The new world of contact lenses has arrived: ones that allow ...
They found that mice wearing the lenses chose to avoid a box flooded with infrared light, instead choosing to move to a completely dark box. But mice who weren't wearing the lenses didn't show a ...
IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...
