Plants sense light and temperature changes to regulate flowering time.
Photoreceptors are highly specialized primary sensory neurons that sense light and initiate vision.
Gradually he regained the ability to sense light touch, pressure and heat.
Genetic logic gates are used so that only cells that sense light and the diffusible signal produce a positive output.
Photoreceptor cells need molecules called retinal to sense light and trigger signalling to the brain, enabling us to see.
They sense light to control their growth and rapid responses to the environment, and they use light as their source of energy.
It also completes the electrical circuit to the cellular layers of the retina beyond the dead rods and cones, artificially making these layers sense light.
One new use, he said, might be for free-running disorder, which affects blind people who cannot sense light at all.
In cases of catastrophic injuries, Dr. Natarajan's goal is to save a small portion of the eye's function, enough to sense light, or movement of a hand.
These photocells are used both to sense light and to power the electrodes, which means no external power or camera is needed.
The ability to generate power, sense light and pressure, and display information might be integrated into lightweight, flexible low-power devices that have yet to be designed.
