The whole picture doesn’t become clear until you combine Webb data with Hubble data,” stated Rogier Windhorst, Regents Professor at Arizona State University, captioning a revolution in cosmic vision.
Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...
Beginning in the 1960s, satellite instruments have measured Earth's reflected broadband shortwave radiation and emitted longwave radiation. These measurements have been used to estimate Earth's ...
We are entering a new era of cosmic exploration. The new Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile will transform astronomy with its extraordinary ability to ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense ...
Researchers have developed experimental contact lenses that use nanoparticles to convert the invisible wavelengths of near-infrared light into visible colors ...
A project at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has developed a contact lens allowing wearers to perceive near-IR wavelengths and see better in the dark. Described in Cell, the ...
Groundbreaking new contact lens lets people see even in dark Researchers say trial participants could perceive information in infrared light even when they closed ...
Near-infrared light sits just outside the range of wavelengths that humans can normally detect. Some animals can sense infrared light, although probably not well enough to form images.
The lenses contain engineered nanoparticles that absorb and convert infrared radiation – specifically, a near-infrared wavelength range of 800 to 1600 nanometres – into blue, green and red ...
The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that absorb infrared light and convert it into wavelengths that are visible to mammalian eyes (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400-700 nm range).
