    The ultimate Night Vision accessory

    The Mk1 Eyeball!

    Stumbled upon this looking for something else. Now how cool would this be, get an injection to be able to see IR light:

    Researchers at the University of Science and Technology in China and the University of Massachusetts Medical School developed nanoparticles that bind to the eye’s existing structures. Once the nanoparticles anchor to photoreceptor cells, they act as tiny infrared light transducers. When infrared light hits the retina, the longer infrared wavelengths are re-emitted into shorter wavelengths within the visible light range. So, technically, the mice don’t really see infrared — they see infrared information in a perceptible form, which is exactly how a thermal vision camera works.

    “In our experiment, nanoparticles absorbed infrared light around 980 nm in wavelength and converted it into light peaked at 535 nm, which made the infrared light appear as the color green,” said Jin Bao at the University of Science and Technology of China.

    Standby for another wave of pandemics as the PLA eats previously un-noticed nocturnal animals .
