Humans could one day be given the power of “super vision” which would allow them to see in the dark, scientists have said.
Nanoparticles inserted into the eyes of mice boosted their natural abilities beyond the normal range of colours and enabled the rodents to see infrared light.
Using the new procedure the research team at the University of Science and Technology of China said they could actually modify someone’s vision to detect a wider spectrum of colours, with potential military applications.
