Scientists Invent Night Vision Contact Lenses
Beijing – Scientists have taken a revolutionary step by developing advanced contact lenses that can see in the dark.
With the help of these lenses, users will be able to see in the dark through infrared vision without any energy source.
These advanced lenses are the result of a research report published in the journal Cell and are being counted among the scientific discoveries that could open a new chapter in emergency and rescue operations.
Unlike traditional night vision glasses, these contact lenses do not require electricity or any batteries.
These lenses are made of ultra-fine nanoparticles that absorb infrared rays and convert them into light that is visible to the human eye.
The study’s lead author, Tian Shu, from the University of Science and Technology of China, says the discovery is a major step towards wearable and non-invasive devices that could dramatically improve human vision.
These nanoparticles specifically detect near-infrared light with a wavelength of 800 to 1,600 nanometers, which is essential for night vision.
The invention could revolutionize future fields such as security, firefighting, and medical emergencies.
