Night vision could be available to everyone in the coming future. The possibility comes after ultra-thin nanocrystals are letting even typical glasses see infrared light — which helps in having a ...

Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have developed a new type of night-vision technology that is the first of its kind. Taking the form of an ultra-thin film, it can be applied ...

DARPA is starting a program to develop a new multispectral Enhanced Night Vision (ENVision) system for the military that replaces today's heavy night-vision goggles with ones that are as light and ...

The U.S. military is looking for ways to make night vision goggles even more badass. Last year, the Army unveiled its new and revolutionary Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars, which allow ...

MIT engineers have developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin "skins" of electronic material. The method could pave the way for new classes of electronic devices, such as ultrathin wearable ...

Something to look forward to: Night vision goggles have their uses but also many drawbacks, including their weight. A new development eliminates this cost-benefit analysis – in fact, it could ...

During the day, the human eye holds a distinct advantage over those of other animals in terms of its ability to spot small movements, pick up subtle shades of color, and identify shapes at great ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is working with industry and academia to mature technologies that could make night vision glasses smaller. (Courtney Bacon/U.S. Army) WASHINGTON — The ...

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 ...
