Infrared contact lenses allow people to see in the dark, even with their eyes closed

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 goggles, the contact lenses do not require a power source — and they enable the wearer to perceive multiple infrared wavelengths. Because they’re transparent, users can see

Imaging technique removes the effect of water in underwater scenes

SeaSplat is an image-analysis tool that cuts through the ocean’s optical effects to generate images of underwater environments reveal an ocean scene’s true colors. Researchers paired the color-correcting tool with a computational model that converts images of a scene into a three-dimensional underwater ‘world’ that can be explored virtually.

Personal space chemistry suppressed by perfume and body lotion indoors

In 2022 a team discovered that high levels of OH radicals can be generated indoors, simply due to the presence of people and ozone. This means: People generate their own oxidation field and change the indoor air chemistry around them within their own personal space. Now, in a follow-up study again in cooperation with an
