Researchers devise a full-color night vision goggle
Human eyes don’t register the infrared portion of the light spectrum because infrared photons don't carry enough energy to trigger the signaling pathway inside our light-sensing cells. But we’ve been able to make devices that give us a visual representation of what’s happening in the infrared. A team at the Beijing Institute of Technology, led by Xin Tang and Ge Mu, has now built a device that lets people see infrared in a new way. Instead of just translating it to visible shades of green as it’
The tech section covers stories about technology making life better, not just more profitable. Open-source tools reaching new audiences, accessibility breakthroughs, AI applications in healthcare and education, infrastructure improvements that quietly make cities work better. Product launches and funding rounds are excluded unless they deliver tangible public benefit.
