A new electronic system created by researchers from the University of Granada improves driving ability at night using information extracted from night visors. The system makes intelligent cars more sophisticated by informing drivers about obstacles on the road.
A recent study examines the remarkable two-tone color of pumpkin seed oil using imaging and CIE chromaticity coordinates. The observed color shift from red to green is attributed to changes in oil layer thickness and unique human retina cell characteristics.
A new UCL study reveals that bees can recognize flowers under different global lights by segmenting scenes into regions of illumination and finding the correct flowers within each region. This strategy suggests that bees use color relationships between objects in a scene to resolve stimulus ambiguity, a challenge also faced by humans.
A study by Vanderbilt University researchers reveals that biological clocks enhance the fitness of organisms by adapting to daily environmental changes. However, when illuminated constantly, these internal pacemakers become obsolete and can even hinder growth, according to the research.
A study found that people with type 2 diabetes experienced increased oscillatory potentials after dark adaptation, which decreased with oxygen inhalation. The researchers suggest that diabetic patients might benefit from a modified night-time illumination cycle during sleep to reduce oxygen consumption in the retina.
Research by Margriet van Eikema Hommes shows that shadows in Raphael's painting became darker over time, changing the contrast and creating a theatrical effect. The study provides insights into the original composition of Renaissance paints and their aging process.
