flag Chinese scientists develop contact lenses granting night vision by converting infrared light into visible light.

flag Chinese scientists have created contact lenses that allow users to see infrared light, effectively enabling night vision without a power source. flag The lenses, made from nanoparticles and non-toxic polymers, convert infrared light into visible light, allowing users to see in the dark and even through closed eyelids. flag Tested on both humans and mice, the lenses enable the detection of flashing signals and the direction of infrared light. flag Researchers are working to improve the lenses' sensitivity to detect lower levels of infrared light. flag A wearable glass system using the same technology offers higher-resolution infrared vision.
