Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered a new way to use some of the oldest known semiconductor materials to ...

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 ...

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.

Have you been shopping for wellness gear and realized you might be comparing apples to oranges? Red light therapy and infrared saunas both use light, but they work in totally different ways, and that ...

Revisiting well-known semiconductors, engineers have produced a low-cost approach to infrared emitters and sensors with potential environmental, medical, and industrial applications.

Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. The study is published in Advanced Materials. Lenses ...
