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 ...

Glasses coated in a lithium compound could one day allow wearers to see clearly in the dark. For more than a decade, researchers have been searching for the best lightweight material that can convert ...

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 ...

A team led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has received a $6.5 million grant to develop thin film nano coating for night vision glasses. The three-year grant is from the Israel National ...

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 ...

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 ...
