Preserving time on film
No one would dispute that the cultural assets of humankind should be preserved for future generations. This applies equally to old books as the traditional form of stored knowledge as to prints, drawings and paintings. Gaining access to valuable, sensitive originals can be very difficult even for a bona fide expert, and is often simply impossible... view more... (2003-02-20)
Not just your imagination: The brain perceives optical illusions as real motion
Ever get a little motion sick from an illusion graphic designed to look like it's moving? A new study suggests that these illusions do more than trick the eye; they may also convince the brain that the graphic is actually moving. view more (2009-02-03)

Powerful pumpkins, super squash
Carotenoids, the family of yellow to red pigments responsible for the striking orange hues of pumpkins and the familiar red color of vine-ripe tomatoes, play an important role in human health by acting as sources of provitamin A or as protective antioxidants. view more (2009-11-05)
3D imaging technology promises reduced radiotherapy waiting lists and more accurate treatment
London 16 October 2003: Vision RT Limited's new system for radiotherapy patient alignment should allow rapid positioning with error margins reduced from centimetres to within millimetres, according to data to be presented at the October ASTRO meeting. Dr. Norman Smith, CEO of Vision RT, will give a paper on Vision RT's 3D body imaging technology... view more... (2003-10-16)
Glaucoma treatment time and costs increase as disease progresses
Delaying the progression of the eye disease glaucoma from advancing to later stages is associated with lower cost of care, according to a study in the January issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-01-10)
Vision for cutting edge cinema
Independent and cutting-edge film projects could be reaching bigger audiences thanks to the vision of independent producer, Keith Griffiths. With a £67,778 Fellowship from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - the organisation that backs UK innovators. Keith, from Deal in Kent, wants to enable new and... view more... (2004-08-06)
Black holes, galaxies young and old visible in massive mapping of the night sky
Color images documenting the past 10 billion years of galactic evolution were distributed online this week as part of the first public release of data from a massive project to map a distant region of the universe that combines the efforts of nearly 100 researchers from around the world, including the University of Pittsburgh. view more (2007-10-04)

The scientific community is just starting to appreciate the importance of pH regulation in normal vision. view more (2007-09-05)
Novel, Computer-Assisted Method For Colorization Of Black And White Scenes Developed At Hebrew University
A novel, computer-assisted method for colorizing black and white images and movies has been developed by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Benin School of Computer Science and Engineering. view more (2005-03-08)
Role identified for glaucoma gene and related signaling pathway
Researchers have found that a gene and a related signaling pathway play a role in the development of glaucoma, which is a common cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. view more (2008-02-15)
An 'eye catching' vision discovery
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. view more (2009-07-27)
Stem cell therapy shows promise for rescuing deteriorating vision
For the millions of Americans whose vision is slowly ebbing due to degenerative diseases of the eye, the lowly neural progenitor cell may be riding to the rescue. view more (2007-03-28)
Researchers discover mechanism that helps humans see in bright and low light
Ever wonder how your eyes adjust during a blackout? When we go from light to near total darkness, cells in the retina must quickly adjust. Vision scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified an intricate process that allows the human eye to adapt to darkness very quickly. The same process also allows the eye... view more... (2009-10-14)
AMD discovery: New hope for treatment of vision loss
Scientists have won a major battle in the fight against age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, a blinding eye disease that affects millions of people. An international team, led by researchers at Sainte-Justine Hospital and the Université de Montréal, has identified the deficient receptor that causes the dry form of AMD. view more (2008-02-21)
Discovery of Genetic Mutation in Florida Beach Mice
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have found that the main color differences among Florida's mice—which are darker on the mainland, but lighter on the barrier islands to blend in with the white sand dunes—are largely due to a simple genetic mutation. view more (2006-07-10)
East African cichlid fish offer new understanding of genetic basis of sex determination
Biologists have genetically mapped the sex chromosomes of several species of cichlid fish from Lake Malawi, East Africa, and identified a mechanism by which new sex chromosomes may evolve. view more (2009-10-02)
Quickplacer, the fastest robot in the world
Fatronik has launched the most rapid robot in the world at the BIEMH (International Machine-Tool Biennial) in Bilbao. view more (2006-03-15)
Genetic conflict in fish led to evolution of new sex chromosomes
University of Maryland biologists have genetically mapped the sex chromosomes of several species of cichlid (pronounced "sick-lid") fish from Lake Malawi, East Africa, and identified a mechanism by which new sex chromosomes may evolve. view more (2009-10-02)
Research highlights risk factors for age-related vision loss
Eating fish frequently may be associated with decreased chances of developing age-related macular degeneration, while smoking nearly doubles the risk for this common cause of vision loss and hormone therapy appears to have no effect. view more (2006-07-11)
