Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new method for detecting mid-infrared (MIR) light at room temperature using quantum systems. Scientists from the University of Birmingham and the University of Cambridge ...

Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focussed in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures – enlarged in the magnifying glass.
