Scientists with the University of Chicago have demonstrated a way to create infrared light using colloidal quantum dots. The researchers said the method demonstrates great promise; the dots are ...

You may know that light happens on a spectrum and contains several different colored waves, each of which can produce ...

Here’s the good news: we’re living longer. The WHO reports that global life expectancy “increased by more than six years between 2000 and 2019.” Of the many reasons that this number is going up, ...

Scientists have created eco-friendly “quantum inks” that can replace toxic metals in infrared detectors. The breakthrough could make night vision faster, cleaner, and more accessible to a wider range ...

Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focused in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures—enlarged in the magnifying glass.
