(PhysOrg.com) -- By greatly amplifying one photon from an entangled photon pair, physicists have theoretically shown that human eyes can be used as detectors to observe quantum effects. Usually, detecting quantum phenomena requires sensitive photon detectors or similar technology, keeping the quantum world far removed from our everyday experience. By showing that it`s possible to perform quantum optics experiments with human eyes as detectors, the physicists can bring quantum phenomena closer to the macroscopic level and to everyday life. http://www.physorg.com/news173423784.html Physics Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:10:03 EST news173423784 Inspired by the behavior of the human eye, Boston College computer scientists have developed a technique that lets computers see objects as fleeting as a butterfly or tropical fish with nearly double the accuracy and 10 times the speed of earlier methods. http://www.physorg.com/news164509831.html Technology Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:40:02 EST news164509831 When photographers zoom in on an object to see it better, they lose the wide-angle perspective -- they are forced to trade off "big picture" context for detail. But now an imaging method developed by Princeton researchers could lead to lenses that show all parts of the scene at once in the same high detail. The new method could help build more powerful microscopes and other optical devices. http://www.physorg.com/news159537382.html Physics Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:56:58 EST news159537382 (PhysOrg.com) -- Bees see some flowers in multicolour because of previously unknown iridescence of the petals, usually invisible to the human eye, researchers from the University of Cambridge report this week in Science. http://www.physorg.com/news150387612.html Biology Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:20:12 EST news150387612 (PhysOrg.com) -- By combining stretchable optoelectronics and biologically inspired design, scientists have created a remarkable imaging device, with a layout based on the human eye. http://www.physorg.com/news137246108.html Technology Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:55:08 EST news137246108
