Scientists have developed contact lenses that allow people to see in the dark. In an extra futuristic twist, they even work better when people have their eyes closed.

The light is scattered by tiny particles in the air, which only affects shorter wavelengths. You can make the sky darker in a black and white photo by using a red filter.

It does flare up though, and studying these flares across wavelengths has been very important to create models about the extreme environments around black holes.

NASA engineers have produced a material that absorbs on average more than 99 percent of the ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and far-infrared light that hits it -- a development that promises to ...

A new paint reflects infrared with a layer of polymer, which helps keep objects cool A two-layered paint that reflects infrared light while maintaining its colour could help keep buildings and ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a mid-infrared picture of Sagittarius A*, filling in a long-standing gap in observations..

Until now, these flows of material had been detected only in other wavelength ranges, such as X-rays or the visible, depending on the phase in which the black hole is consuming its surrounding ...

The infrared light has a longer wavelength than visible light, under that longer wavelength the less pigmented background coat color, the black, becomes lighter while the more heavily pigmented ...
