New type of highly sensitive vision discovered in deep-sea fish

Color vision in vertebrates is usually achieved through the interaction of various photopigments in the cone cells found in the retina. Each of these…

Precise temperature measurements with invisible light

Ordinarily, you won't encounter a radiation thermometer until somebody puts one in your ear at the doctor's office or you point one at your forehead when…

Low oxygen levels could temporarily blind marine invertebrates

These results, published recently in the Journal of Experimental Biology, are the first demonstration that vision in marine invertebrates is highly sensitive…

Biophysicists resolve true structure of highly promising optogenetic protein KR2 rhodopsin

Optogenetics is an entirely new area of biophysics and biomedicine, which investigates techniques for controlling the nerve and muscle cells in a living…

Sculpting super-fast light pulses

Imagine being able to shape a pulse of light in any conceivable manner–compressing it, stretching it, splitting it in two, changing its intensity or altering…

Scientists track giant ocean vortex from space

Using 23 years of satellite data, the new findings show the Great Whirl is larger and longer-lived than scientists previously thought. At its peak, the giant…
