Scientists have created night-vision contact lenses that they claim can grant people "super-vision." The lenses — which use nanoparticles to absorb low-frequency light before emitting it in the ...

Passive organic upconversion and nanophotonic enhancements convert weak infrared light into visible images, enabling passive visible imaging without electrical power or lasers. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that a specific class of oxide membranes can confine, or 'squeeze,' infrared light -- a finding that holds promise for next generation infrared imaging ...

University of Central Florida (UCF) researcher Debashis Chanda, a professor at UCF’s NanoScience Technology Center, has developed a new technique to detect long wave infrared (LWIR) photons of ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components. Detecting infrared ...
