The average human eye can see as many as 10 million variations in color, according to some estimates, from purest gray to laser green. Now scientists say they’ve broken out of that familiar range and ...

A study participant puts in a contact lens. Researchers developed lenses with nanoparticles that convert infrared wavelengths into visible light that humans can perceive. Yuqian Ma, Yunuo Chen, Hang ...

Contact lenses have enabled people to see beyond the visible light range, picking up flickers of infrared light even in the dark – or with their eyes closed. The lenses contain engineered ...

NIR light travels in wavelengths between 700 nm and 2,500 nm and while it can be felt as heat, we can't see it. Looking to see if they could develop a less invasive way of allowing visual access to ...
