Novel Lenses Made Infrared Light Visible

Scientists have made a breakthrough in the development of contact lenses. While infrared light is normally invisible to the human eye, a recent discovery allows people to see infrared light.

Novel lenses and glasses could revolutionize our vision. By a new method invisible infrared light becomes perceptible for humans – without electricity and cameras

Technology: Humans see only a limited part of the light spectrum. A contact lens with nanoparticles stretches the boundary a little. Will humans soon have…

The human eye is only able to perceive light within the visible spectrum. Infrared light, having longer wavelengths and less energy, remains out of the reach of our vision. However, this limitation could be left behind thanks to an innovative scientific advance: a group of researchers developed the first contact lenses capable of providing infrared vision, even with their eyes closed. “Humans now have a new way of seeing infrared light without t…
