Researchers develop ultra-thin film that allows people to see clearly in the dark and could revolutionise night vision. This first-of-its-kind thin film is ultra-compact and one day could work on standard glasses. The new prototype tech, based on nanoscale crystals, could be used for defence, as well as making it safer to drive at night and walking home after dark.
