- TU Delft demonstrates new control techniques for preventing aircraft crashes
11-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
On Wednesday Nov. 21, TU Delft will demonstrate how improved control techniques can reduce the risk of aircraft crashes. The demonstration involves reconstructing troubled flights -- such as the El Al flight which crashed in the Bijlmer area of Amsterdam in 1992 -- in a flight simulator and adding the newly developed technology.

- UF researchers awaken vision cells in blind mice
05-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists describe how they used a harmless virus to deliver corrective genes to mice with a genetic impairment that robs them of vision. The discovery shows that it is possible to target and rescue cone cells -- the most important cells for visual sharpness and color vision in people.

- Color vision drove primates to develop red skin and hair, study finds
05-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
You might call it a tale of "monkey see, monkey do." Researchers at Ohio University have found that after primates evolved the ability to see red, they began to develop red and orange skin and hair.

- '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

- MIT demonstrates wireless power transfer
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine a future in which wireless power transfer is feasible: cell phones, household robots, mp3 players, laptop computers, and other portable electronics capable of charging themselves without ever being plugged in, freeing us from that final, ubiquitous power wire. Some of these devices might not even need their bulky batteries to operate. Now an MIT team has experimentally demonstrated an important step toward accomplishing this vision of the future.

- Don't judge a brook by its color -- brown waters are more natural
11-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Over the last 20 years lakes and streams in remote parts of the UK, southern Scandinavia and eastern North America have been increasingly stained brown by dissolved organic matter. In this week's Nature journal (Nov. 22) an international team, led by researchers from UCL and the US Environmental Protection Agency, demonstrates that the color change is indicative of a return to a more natural, pre-industrial state following a decline in the level of acid rain.

- Research shows NPD1 protects a key component of vision
07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two papers to be published in the early edition online of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of July 30-Aug. 3, 2007 report findings that demonstrate that neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) protects against damage to retinal pigment epithelial cells and identifies an important trigger for its production and novel molecular mechanisms that support vision. The research was conducted at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans.

- Computer savvy canines
11-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Like us, our canine friends are able to form abstract concepts. Friederike Range and colleagues from the University of Vienna in Austria have shown for the first time that dogs can classify complex color photographs and place them into categories in the same way that humans do. And the dogs successfully demonstrate their learning through the use of computer automated touch-screens, eliminating potential human influence. The study has just been published online in Animal Cognition.

- Which came first: Primates' ability to see colorful food or see colorful sex?
06-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Primates have a unique ability to distinguish red from green, but the reason why has been debated: Was it first to see ripe red fruit against green leaves or was it first the mating systems that communicate through red in skin and hair? This study incorporated evolutionary relationships among 203 primate species to show the sequential evolution of color vision, skin color, fur color and mating systems, and found that foraging came first.
