- 'Twinkle after effect' can help retinal patients detect vision loss quickly and cheaply
10-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered a simple and inexpensive way for patients with retinal and other eye disease to keep track of changes in their vision loss. In a study published in this week's PLoS One (Oct. 24, 2007) they demonstrate that a compelling visual illusion known as the induced twinkle after-effect can accurately identify the location and breadth of actual blind spots in people with retinal disease

- Gold nanorods assemble themselves into rings
03-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Rice University chemists have discovered that tiny building blocks known as gold nanorods spontaneously assemble themselves into ring-like superstructures. This finding could potentially lead to the development of novel nanodevices like highly sensitive optical sensors, superlenses, and even invisible objects for use in the military.
