In A World First, Scientists Have Made Soft, Transparent Contact Lenses With Upconversion Nanoparticles That Convert Non-Visible Near-Infrared Light Into Visible Colors. Unlike Night Vision Goggles, They Need No Power. Though Not Full Thermal Vision Like Snakes Have, The Tech May Aid Color Blindness, Secret Messages, And Extend Human Sight.

Finland’s Polar Night Energy Has Built The World’s Largest Sand Battery In Pornainen—A 100 MWh Thermal System Using Crushed Soapstone/Sand To Store Excess Renewable Energy As Heat. It Cuts Heating Emissions By 70%, Saves ~160 Tons Of CO₂/yr, & Helps Stabilize The Energy Grid Via The Heat Storage/Release, Supporting Finland’s 2035 Carbon-Neutral Goal.

DARPA Set A World Record By Wirelessly Sending 800+ Watts Of Energy Over 8.6 Km Via Laser In A 30-Sec Burst—Achieving 20% Usable Power At The Receiving End. Though Low, It’s Impressive For Long-Range Energy Beaming. The Breakthrough Could Power Drones, Aid Disaster Zones, Battlefield Operations, And Even Popped Popcorn, Like In Real Genius.
