Sunlight contains an electromagnetic spectrum (special waves such as the kind in x-rays that travel through emptiness or a vacuum) of light that stretches from very short gamma rays to very long radio ...

In a new study published in Science, researchers have developed a new method for detecting infrared light by changing its frequency to a corresponding frequency in the range of visible light.

As great as cameras that operate in the visual light spectrum are, they omit a lot of the information that can be gleaned from other wavelengths. There is also the minor issue that visibility is often ...

Mice with vision enhanced by nanotechnology were able to see infrared light as well as visible light, reports a new study. A single injection of nanoparticles in the mice's eyes bestowed infrared ...

With an injection of nanoscale devices as fine as grains of pollen, two biotechnology researchers have given mice the ability to detect near-infrared light—something long believed possible only for a ...

Light is more than what we see. The Sun sends out a number of waves of light in different wavelengths. Find out about wavelengths and the electromagnetic spectrum. Science Trek is available to stream ...
