Scientists from Massachusetts have bred a new “variety” of mice, who are able to see in complete darkness. In the eyes of rodents were implanted nanoparticles that allowed them to see in infrared spectrum.
Special nanoparticles are introduced onto the back of the retina. eyes that are removed from the body over time. Usually on this It takes several weeks. According to scientists, if not revealed no side effects, then this technology can start using in public.

First of all, this development can be a good replacement. to the bulky equipment that the troops use special purpose.
Nanoparticles, entering the body, expand the spectrum of vision human, thereby making visible objects that are not visible to the naked eye. A similar technology is already used in production of vests with a reflective coating.
During the experiment, scientists taught animals how to overcome underwater labyrinth with the help of illuminated beacons. Thereafter rodents were implanted with nanoparticles, and beacons were replaced by emitters, working in the infrared spectrum. It turned out that “advanced” mice still found their way through the maze, and ordinary mice could not repeat this result.
A scientist from the University of Massachusetts Gan Heng believes that this technology will allow people to change their view of the world. For example, when we look into space, we are able to perceive only visible light. But if we could perceive the world in infrared spectrum, then we would have opened up completely new things.
Earlier, ESOREITER talked about how people see the world and animals.
