The “To Future Scientists” series is a science video series available on the official YouTube channel of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), a public research institution in Japan. Along with promoting NIMS, it is created to broadly convey the fascination and appeal of materials science research.
The theme of #18 is “The Shadow of Infrared Light.” Infrared light is an invisible form of light that truly exists all around us, yet we are usually unaware of it. Using a distinctive method, this work reveals the power of infrared light. Though it is a simple experiment, it also symbolizes how changing the way we see the world can lead to new discoveries and ideas.
