Integrating Spinsolve NMR in labs supports green chemistry, reducing environmental impact while enhancing students' practical ...

A new filter for infrared light could see scanning and screening technology tumble in price and size. Built on nanotechnology, the new heat-tunable filter promises hand-held, robust technology to ...

There is a huge debate going on right now in Washington regarding the electromagnetic spectrum. The crux of the debate centers around whether the Federal government should auction additional ...

Chinese researchers have developed an infrared contact lens that makes night vision possible. Nanoparticles make the previously invisible light range visible to the human eye.

Scientists have developed revolutionary contact lenses that grant wearers the ability to see infrared light—a feat humans naturally cannot achieve. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal ...

Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark Mice and humans were able to detect infrared light, even with their eyes closed, with limited resolution.

An additional tweak to the contact lenses allows users to differentiate between different spectra of infrared light by engineering the nanoparticles to color-code different infrared wavelengths.

Infrared heat is all the rage—and it may really come with health benefits Infrared light therapy is more than just a trend: It’s showing potential in easing chronic pain, improving mobility ...

Beyond just the market demand for visible spectrum nanocrystals, chemistry is harder for materials in the infrared, which is longer wavelength and lower energy than light in the visible spectrum.
