Title by me™
Ever seen videos of people farting through IR cameras? Well, now we have infrared contact lenses, so be careful in front of whom you let go.
Also, did you know that this could be used to create night vision without visible equipment on the body?

Trichromatic NIR upconversion!
That’s more interesting than the modified title, just saying.
Agreed. The actually discovery is so cool, and the joke means people probably won’t read the article.
Wouldn’t that put you at risk as being called out under the “he who smelt it, dealt it” doctrine?
But under the Geneva convention if you seent it before you smelt it and call out the perpetrator you should be protected
Scientists were so caught up with weather they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Has science gone too far?

It has - at the very least - veered off in an undesirably unproductive direction. This is clearly the result of a high-int, low-wis build.
Butt why?

Didn’t read but those IR videos were clearly fake. The temperature difference isn’t enough for the gases to be discernible in the camera
