Invent the Infrared Lenses, Which Allow You to See in the Dark and with Your Eyes Closed

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.

The experiment was carried out in complete darkness to demonstrate the ability of the lenses to detect this type of light. In the absence of visible light, any perceived image came exclusively from the infrared spectrum. This confirmed its effectiveness as a vision tool in conditions without additional lighting. The results, published in Cell magazine, highlight that this invention does not need a power supply, unlike infrared night vision glass…

A group of neuroscientists from China and the United States developed contact lenses that could allow people to perceive infrared light, a range of electromagnetic spectrum that is normally invisible to the eye.
