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. The ten lucky human participants who tried on these

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

We often say that the light leaves a person’s eyes when they die. But it turns out all living organisms, including humans, emit a literal glow that extinguishes after death, according to a new study. The study, published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, found that living things glow faintly throughout their lives due to the energy released by metabolic and cellular processes. Monitoring this weak signal could one day help scientists track injury and disease. As cells consume energ

Scientists have known for decades that certain neurons in the hippocampus are dedicated to remembering specific locations where an animal has been. More useful, though, is remembering where places are relative to each other, and it hasn’t been clear how those mental maps are formed. A study by MIT neuroscientist Matthew Wilson and colleagues sheds light on that question. The researchers let mice explore mazes freely for about 30 minutes a day for several days.

In 2024, scientists stumbled upon a potential new treatment for hereditary-patterned baldness, the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women worldwide. It all started with research on a sugar that naturally occurs in the body and helps form DNA: the 'deoxyribose' part of deoxyribonucleic acid. While studying how these sugars heal the wounds of mice when applied topically, scientists at the University of Sheffield and COMSATS University in Pakistan noticed that the fur around the les

For many of us, memories of our childhood have become a bit hazy, if not vanishing entirely. But nobody really remembers much before the age of 4, because nearly all humans experience what's termed "infantile amnesia," in which memories that might have formed before that age seemingly vanish as we move through adolescence. And it's not just us; the phenomenon appears to occur in a number of our fellow mammals. The simplest explanation for this would be that the systems that form long-term memor

To be sure, there is a long way to go. The mice Colossal created include several genetic changes previously known to make mice furry or long-haired. That is, the changes were mammoth-like, but not from a mammoth. In fact, only a single letter of uniquely mammoth DNA was added to the mice. Because this idea is so new and attracting so much attention, I decided it would be useful to create a record of previous attempts to add extinct DNA to living organisms.
