👁️Scientists at the University of Science and Technology in China have developed contact lenses that grant night vision capabilities.
The contact lenses are able to convert invisible infrared light into visible wavelengths, by using flexible polymers within nanoparticles.
🌈The lenses have been successfully tested on humans, and they hold the capability of aiding individuals with colour-blindness.
The development in technology also opens further possibilities for those in the military where vision in low-light conditions is critical.
