In a move straight out of a sci-fi movie, scientists have created wearable infrared contact lenses that allow you to see in the dark, even with your eyes closed. A group of scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China unveiled the lenses in a study published today in Cell. Unlike infrared goggles, these contact lenses don’t require a power source. Instead, they convert infrared light to visible light using nanoparticles.

Tired of using bulky night vision goggles for your clandestine nocturnal activities? An interdisciplinary team of Chinese neuroscientists and materials scientists have developed near-infrared contact lenses that enabled both mice and humans to see in the dark, even with their eyes closed, according to a new paper published in the journal Cell. Humans and other mammals can only perceive a limited range of the electromagnetic spectrum (light), usually in the 400-700 nm range. There are creatures

Strength Reading glasses typically range from +0.25 to +2.50 diopters (the unit of measurement for eye prescriptions), though the average starting strength is usually around +0.75. In rare cases, reading glass strength can go up to +4.00. “Tips for buying reading glasses online are similar to buying ready-made reading glasses at the drugstore: it’s a convenient option, but it’s not a good idea for everyone,” says Ravi Goel, MD, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “

Here are some of the many pairs we've tested over the years that didn’t quite make the cut: Photograph: Ombraz Ombraz Armless Sunglasses for $160: Ombraz has a recycled nylon cord that meets in the back with two strong beads. You pull the beads to tighten the fit and pull the cord to loosen it, but it shouldn't come apart. That way, when you aren't wearing them, you can let them dangle around your neck.

I tried making artificial sunlight at home 27 Mar, 2025 Some time ago, I saw this video by DIY Perks where they make artificial sunlight at home with a 500W LED and a gigantic (1.2m) parabolic reflector. I've been fascinated by this project ever since, and I wanted my own. Over the past year or so, I finally took the time to work on a similar project, but I had the idea for a different design. The issue with the parabolic reflector is that it takes a huge amount of space. Could I do something

If you're one of the 45 million Americans who wear contact lenses, there's a good chance that you're using them in an unhygienic way. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 99% of contact-lens wearers practice at least one "contact lens hygiene risk behavior." These include not replacing cases frequently enough and wearing lenses to sleep. In some cases, these behaviors can lead to doctor's visits and other health issues -- but many of these problems are preventable. He
