• Inability of 2D human retina to specify direction in 3D space produces optical illusions, say researchers

  January 5, 2009--Researchers at Duke University (Durham, NC) have issued a new study that helps explain why a person observing an object through an aperture sees movement differently than when looking at the same object directly. They suggest that we perceive such peculiar effects because the projection of light onto a 2-D retina cannot specify the direction of objects moving in 3-D space.

• Strain-adjusted LED produces phosphor-free white light

  January 2, 2009--Researchers at Peking University (Beijing, China) are crafting phosphor-free gallium nitride based white LEDs that rely on a "strain adjusting" indium gallium arsenide (InGaN) interlayer to produce blue and yellow luminescence.
