Heat-Vision Snakes Spark 4K Imaging Tech for Future Smartphones
How snakes inspired a breakthrough in imaging In a surprising cross between zoology and engineering, researchers in China have translated the brainy way snakes perceive heat into a practical, ultra-high-resolution imaging system. Snakes can sense the faint heat differences emitted by objects, especially warm-blooded prey, allowing them to hunt in total darkness. By mimicking this…
