New observations is color vision and the combination of wavelengths to reveal the once invisible infrared spectrum.

It started with scientific astonishment. Why is there a green glow when looking at an infrared emitting device? "Such a strange phenomenon was observed by my colleagues when they installed an imaging device at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń," says Prof. Wojtkowski. "They came to me sha...
