People who tested a new type of designer contact lens could see flashing infrared signals from a light source. Humans have a new way of seeing infrared light, without the need for clunky night-vision ...

It's time for our science news roundup from Short Wave, NPR's science podcast. And joining us this time are Regina Barber and Berly McCoy. Good to have you both here. BERLY MCCOY, BYLINE: Hey, Ari.

It certainly sounds like something from a new sci-fi series, but a power-free set of contact lenses impregnated with nanoparticles has proven successful in allowing humans to see what has previously ...

NASA's SPHEREx has mapped the entire sky in 102 infrared colors, revealing hidden details about galaxies and the early ...

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).
