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 ...

Early and accurate diagnosis of dementia remains a major challenge. Standard approaches such as MRI and PET scans can provide valuable information about brain structure and function, but they are ...

A substantial body of research demonstrates that drinking alcohol, even in relatively moderate amounts, can have serious adverse health effects that include high blood pressure, liver disease, and ...

Abstract: The application of online infrared inspection systems for substations is introduced in this recommended practice. The system composition, functional and performance requirements, test ...

Humans have a new way of seeing infrared light, without the need for clunky night-vision goggles. Researchers have made the first contact lenses to convey infrared vision — and the devices work even ...

Summary: Researchers have developed contact lenses that enable humans and mice to see near-infrared light by converting it into visible wavelengths. These lenses use specialized nanoparticles embedded ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have developed new contact lenses that give people infrared vision, allowing them see in the dark, even with their eyes closed. Bonus: they don’t even require ...

For example, flickering infrared light could be used to transmit information in security, rescue, encryption or anti-counterfeiting settings." The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that ...
