optogenetics

/ˌɒptəʊdʒɪˈnɛtɪks/

BIOLOGY

a technique in neuroscience in which genes for light-sensitive proteins are introduced into specific types of brain cells in order to monitor and control their activity precisely using light signals.

"optogenetics allows researchers to control how nerve cells communicate"

Reminds me also to Fresnell, the foraminifera species with vacuoles filled with alga / plankton and the propagation of the light towards the internal chambers with the alga trough all their tiny holes and the glinstering wall wands of those chambers. Thats a really funny subject.>

The evil eye (Greek: Mάτι, meaning "eye", Hebrew: עַיִן הָרָע, Arabic: نظر) is a superstitious curse or legend,[1] believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when one is unaware. It dates back at least to Greek classical antiquity, 6th century BCE where it appeared on Chalcidian drinking vessels, known as 'eye cups',[2] as a type of apotropaic magic.

[3] Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury,[4] while others believe it to be a kind of supernatural force that casts or reflects a malevolent gaze back-upon those who wish harm upon others (especially innocents). Talismans or amulets created to protect against the evil eye are also frequently called "evil eyes".[5][failed verification] [6][failed verification] Older iterations of the symbol were often made of ceramic or clay, however, following the production of glass beads in the Mediterranean region in approximately 1500 BCE, evil eye beads were popularised with the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Ottomans.[7] Blue was likely used as it was relatively easy to create, however, modern evil eyes can be a range of colors.

The first challenge was uniformity, important to ensuring a clear blue color and to prevent the LED from moving towards producing green light...

"We used a special synthetic approach to achieve a very uniform assembly, so every single particle has the same size and shape. The overall film is nearly perfect and maintains the blue emission conditions all the way through," says Dong.

Next, the team needed to tackle the charge injection needed to excite the dots into luminescence. Since the crystals are not very stable, they need stabilizing molecules to act as scaffolding and support them. These are typically long molecule chains, with up to 18 carbon-non-conductive molecules at the surface, making it hard to get the energy to produce light.

"We used a special surface structure to stabilize the quantum dot. Compared to the films made with long chain molecules capped quantum dots, our film has 100 times higher conductivity, sometimes even 1000 times higher."

This remarkable performance is a key benchmark in bringing these nanocrystal LEDs to market. However, stability remains an issue and quantum dot LEDs suffer from short lifetimes. Dong is excited about the potential for the field and adds, "I like photons, these are interesting materials, and, well, these glowing crystals are just beautiful."
