Basically the new research shows infrared wavelengths can be brought within the visual spectrum, using a thin and very light film applied to glasses.

As the infrared photons only pass through a single resonant metasurface and are then mixed with a pump beam — a source of light used to amplify energy levels — night vision can be provided without the need to convert photons to electrons. This then bypasses the need for multiple heavy optical and cooling components to reduce thermal noise; the up-conversion from IR to visible light via the metasurface takes place at room temperature.

It’s like the opposite to sunglasses. Maybe we’ll call them moonglasses, and cities everywhere can subsidize them by turning off their street lights.

The wife of a man killed by Tesla is now suing the pizza place that served the car’s owner.

Wendy Rockacy, the widow of former UPMC doctor Douglas Rockacy, blames Joseph Yanta, who was behind the wheel that July night in the crash that killed Douglas Rockacy. But she is also suing Cenci’s Pizzeria and Restaurant, along with its owner.

Joseph Yanta, meanwhile, pled guilty and then started suing a country club as well as the pizza place.

In February this year, Yanta pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle and DUI. Investigators said data from his Tesla showed he was going over 120 miles per hour and his blood alcohol content was more than double the limit.

A few months later, Yanta filed his own lawsuit against Cenci’s and the country club for the injuries he suffered in the crash.

I haven’t read the court filings but I hope they say something like…

Bartender should have asked if I came in a Tesla, therefore establishing I am unable to make good decisions about safety and must not be trusted to drink.

Liability really rests with Tesla, however, as they repeatedly and shamelessly promote the fraud that their car is safe to drive intoxicated.

Update November 7: the Tesla passenger has now died.

Early reports from York had details like this, suggesting the Tesla was speeding and lost control into oncoming traffic.

An eyewitness who drove past the scene told The Press the bus was an open top double decker tour bus heading in the direction of York.

The car was travelling in the opposite direction, they said, adding that the car was badly damaged after the collision.

It then was confirmed that one Tesla passenger was killed, while three others were injured.

A 31-year-old man was killed in a crash between a car and bus in York, police said.

He was a passenger in a white Tesla Model 3 car which collided with a blue and white double decker bus on the B1224 Wetherby Road, close to the junction with the York outer ring road (A1237), at around 9.20am today (Saturday, June 29).

North Yorkshire Police said the man, from the Newcastle area, was pronounced dead at the scene.

This crash fatality is especially notable after Tesla investors were recently promoting the dangerously false notion their car is capable of preventing head-on collisions.
