英语新闻丨Scientists develop contact lenses surpassing human eye
Description
Finding a better solution for visual disorders such as color blindness, a team of scientists from home and abroad have jointly devised a unique contact lens that surpasses current human visual capabilities. These contact lenses capture things even naked eyes cannot see, according to the researchers.
为了更好地解决色盲等视觉障碍,由国内外科学家组成的研究团队联合发明了一种独特的隐形眼镜,其性能超越了人类目前的视觉能力。据研究人员称,这种隐形眼镜能够捕捉肉眼无法看到的东西。
In their research, the scientists, including those from the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, Anhui province, and Fudan University in Shanghai, ingeniously combined rare earth particles emitting multiple fluorescent signals with contact lenses.
在这项研究中,来自安徽省合肥市的中国科学技术大学和上海市的复旦大学的科学家们巧妙地将发射多种荧光信号的稀土粒子与隐形眼镜结合在一起。
By wearing such special lenses, human eyes can perceive light beyond the visible spectrum into the near-infrared range, allowing individuals to access multi-dimensional information in terms of time, space, and color from near-infrared light.
通过佩戴这种特殊的隐形眼镜,人眼可以感知到可见光谱之外直至近红外波段的光,从而能够从近红外光中获取时间、空间和颜色等多维信息。
"With the aid of such invisible glasses, people can see things that were previously invisible to them," said Zhang Fan, one of the lead researchers on the team and a professor of chemistry from Fudan University.
“借助这种隐形眼镜,人们可以看到以前看不见的东西。”该团队的主要研究员之一、复旦大学化学教授张凡说道。
"And for individuals suffering from color blindness, by supplementing visible light information with near-infrared wavelengths, wearers can enhance their ability to differentiate between colors like red and green," he said.
他说:“对于色盲患者来说,通过在可见光信息中添加近红外波长,佩戴者可以增强区分红色和绿色等颜色的能力。”
The research results also hold vast application potentials in fields, such as information processing and visual assistance technologies, said the researchers.
研究人员表示,该研究成果在信息处理和视觉辅助技术等领域也具有巨大的应用潜力。
