In 2014, a NASA telescope observed that the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

The invention of tiny devices capable of precisely controlling the direction and behavior of light is essential to the ...

Metasurfaces in which nonlocal light-matter interactions take place are a potentially useful variant of traditional ...

Passive organic upconversion and nanophotonic enhancements convert weak infrared light into visible images, enabling passive visible imaging without electrical power or lasers. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...
