Researchers in China and the U.S. have created injectable night vision that works in mice.
Nanoparticles that converted infrared light into visible light were injected.
Bound to the photoreceptors, it provided night vision for up to 10 weeks without any ill effects.
Mice who received injection found their way out of the maze.
They are confident it could work in humans, but nanoparticles effectiveness still in question.
And would require frequent reinjections to soldiers if to be used in combat.
The process requires injections directly into the eyeball.
It will lighten the soldier’s load though, making troops more mobile and less fatigued.
It promises a much wider field of view that matches their daytime vision.
