The scientists installed photosensitive molecules around the entrance of the channel to harness energy from ultraviolet light.
Since the dynamical grating exhibits the fast relaxation time (up to 10 ns), the nonlinear mechanism represents an electronic excitation of the photosensitive molecules.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the action of photons on photosensitive molecules, where atomic oxygen or OH− molecular species are locally released on pathogenic human cells, which are mainly carcinogenic, thus causing cell necrosis.
Alternatively, light action on the photosensitive molecules affects the order parameter of LC that, in turn, results in substantial and fast changes of the local refractive indices of the LC [5].
That the basic chemistry (structure and function) of photosensitive molecules is the same whether the cells that contain these compounds are connected to the nervous system or not; 3.
Vision is not the only function for molecules capable of reacting with light, and it should be no surprise that photosensitive molecules can be found not only in eyes but in animal tissues unrelated to vision as well as in plants, bacteria, and other types of organisms that do not see.
For one thing, all vertebrates appear to have the same photosensitive molecules in the retina (Fernald 2006; Santillo et al. 2006), and the retina and lens appear to form in the same ways from the same embryonic tissues (Lamb et al. 2007; Shimeld et al. 2005).
The incident, which was referred to as the "Pokémon Shock" by the Japanese press, was included in the 2004 edition and the 2008 Gamer's Edition of the Guinness World Records book, with the honor of holding the record for "Most Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures Caused by a Television Show".
One theory is based on light-dependent magnetic orientation, where light absorption by photosensitive molecules initiates magnetosensitive chemical reactions and allows for magnetorecption [30], [31].
In this regard, versatile photosensitive molecules have been developed.
