Prototype glasses can turn infrared into color vision

The human eye, as good as it is, misses out on so much of the world because it is limited in what it can perceive. It can't see X-rays, ultraviolet rays or infrared light. While X-ray goggles are still the stuff of science ...

A real-time warning system for fake videoconferences

Videoconferencing facilitates communication between different locations while still allowing people to look each other in the eye. However, increasingly, we have to question whether the other person's eyes are real. This ...

Existing power grids draw data centers to cities, study finds

When people picture a data center, they often imagine something remote: a huge warehouse humming quietly far from the city. New research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering shows that assumption is largely wrong.
