The journal Advanced Materials recently published a study introducing a new method for monitoring molecular processes deep within tissue. Developed at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, the ...

The compound eyes of insects can detect fast-moving objects in parallel and, in low-light conditions, enhance sensitivity by integrating signals over time to determine motion. Inspired by these ...

A team of scientists from South Ural State University has created a mathematical model of a complex insect eye, which will later be used for a prototype device based on computer vision technology. In ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered profound similarities and surprising differences between humans and insects in the production of the critical light-absorbing ...

An organic synapse array enables night vision and pattern recognition in insect robots by detecting near-infrared light and triggering real-time motor responses. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect-scale ...

Figure 1. (A) Vision in a fast-eyed insect. Reflected light from swiftly moving objects sequentially stimulates the photoreceptors along the individual optical channels called ommatidia, of which the ...
