"Nanotechnology" .. Visualization in the dark became a "reality"

People will soon be able to see in the dark, after scientists have succeeded in a revolutionary experiment using nanotechnology for infrared vision.
In an experiment conducted by American and Chinese scientists at the Chinese University of Science and Technology, rats were able to see in the dark, 10 weeks after injecting nanoparticles into their eyes.

The researchers developed these particles so that they could be fixed tightly on the receiving cells to act as small receivers for infrared radiation.

When the light reaches the retina, it picks up longer infrared wavelengths and emits shorter wavelengths within the visible range.

Doctors warn of "minor error" may cause blindness
The cornea absorbs the shortest wave and sends a natural signal to the brain, as if visible light had hit the retina.

The mice injected with these particles showed that they could distinguish infrared patterns even when exposed to daylight.

"Areas of experience in the future may include military applications, and can be adapted to benefit those who suffer from color blindness, who can not distinguish red," said lead researcher Dr. Tian Xiu. " British.

"What distinguishes technology is that it will enable humans to overcome their natural visionary abilities," Xu said.

The infrared technology currently available allows you to see the heat emitted by objects, but it is damaged by huge batteries and visible light interference.
