BALTIMORE, Md., July 28, 2009 – Nearly all species have some ability to detect light. At least three types of cells in the retina allow us to see images or distinguish between night and day. Now, researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have discovered in fish yet another type of cell that can sense light and contribute to vision.

Author: wunschartWenn in zwei Monaten europaweit die Glühlampen aus den Geschäften verschwinden, ist das eine gute Nachricht für das Klima und die Wirtschaft. Sagen die einen.
Die anderen prophezeien Giftmüllprobleme, Sonderschichten für Psychiater und eine völlig neue Art, die Welt zu sehen.
Höchste Zeit, die Angelegenheit einmal näher zu beleuchten.

PLoS ONE: Imaging of Ultraweak Spontaneous Photon Emission from Human Body Displaying Diurnal Rhythm
Author: wunschartThe human body literally glimmers. The intensity of the light emitted by the body is 1000 times lower than the sensitivity of our naked eyes. Ultraweak photon emission is known as the energy released as light through the changes in energy metabolism. We successfully imaged the diurnal change of this ultraweak photon emission with an improved highly sensitive imaging system using cryogenic charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. We found that the human body directly and rhythmically emits light. The diurnal changes in photon emission might be linked to changes in energy metabolism.

Twinkling nanostars: a golden opportunity? – optics.org
Author: wunschartScientists at Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) have published details of a new gyromagnetic imaging technique that exploits the light scatter from rotating gold nanoparticles to suppress the background noise associated with optical interrogations of biological tissue.

Understanding nanoscale light emission – optics.org
Author: wunschartResearchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Colorado, have shown how electron–hole exchange interactions in quantum dots depend on the size of the semiconductor material that the dots are made of. The result not only sheds light on the origin of such interactions but also suggests that the optical properties of nanoparticles might be manipulated by simply changing their size as well as their composition.
