Even materials that look pitch black to the eye often reflect near-infrared light well. As devices using near-infrared light, ...

Astronomers using Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array have found that ...

NASA will move ahead with a new space telescope to see the cold, dusty universe far more sharply than any before it, chasing ...

Interstellar water ice map charts frozen water across 618,000 stellar sightlines in the Milky Way for the first time, using decade-old NASA WISE and 2MASS archival photometry rather than costly ...

A small study found that adding broad-spectrum incandescent light to an LED-lit office improved workers' color vision.

Researchers have improved upon techniques that use thin films to compress infrared light, demonstrating three advantages that make the films more useful for practical applications. The researchers ...

TV remotes have no cords.If you press a button while sitting on the sofa, the TV a few meters away responds. In everyday ...

The human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can't see, has an even lower frequency than ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...

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 ...
