A tiny metasurface chip can turn invisible infrared light into steerable visible beams, opening the door to powerful new ...

When you unlock a phone, step into view of a security camera or drive past a license plate reader at night, beams of infrared light - invisible to the naked eye — shine onto the unique contours of ...

Scientists in Switzerland have developed an ultra-thin metalens that converts invisible infrared light into visible light by halving its wavelength, using nanoscale patterns stamped into a special ...

An inexpensive detector developed by a NASA-led team can now see invisible infrared light in a range of “colors,” or wavelengths. The detector, called a Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) ...

Humans can now see in the dark -- and even with their eyes closed -- using nanotechnology contact lenses that turn invisible infrared light into visible images, according to a new study published in ...

Scientists have developed a new method for detecting mid-infrared (MIR) light at room temperature using quantum systems. Scientists from the University of Birmingham and the University of Cambridge ...

Researchers used theoretical calculations assessing electron orbital symmetry to synthesize new molecule designed to be both transparent and colorless while absorbing near-infrared light. This ...

Former Xinjiang government engineer Nureli Abliz, who saw firsthand how surveillance technology flagged thousands of people in China for detention, even when they had committed no crime, is ...
