Visión en el infrarrojo gracias a nanopartículas inyectadas bajo la retina - La Ciencia de la Mula Francis La visión de los mamíferos está limitada al rango entre 400 y 700 nm; por ello no pueden ver la luz infrarroja sin gafas adecuadas, hasta ahora. Se publica en Cell que la inyección intraocular de nanopartículas en ratones les permite ver en el infrarrojo cercano (alrededor de 980 nm). Las nanopartículas que se acoplan a los fotorreceptores (pbUCNPs) actúan como nanoantenas transductoras que transforman la señal de 980 nm en una señal de 535 nm (la región más sensible del ojo humano está alrededor de ∼550 nm en condiciones fotópicos, o sea, de alta iluminación). El nuevo nanodispositivo biointegrado abre vías muy interesantes a explorar en un futuro en el contexto del mejoramiento humano en aplicaciones militares y civiles. Las pbUCNPs (photoreceptor-binding upconversion nanoparticles) se anclan en los conos y bastones de la retina de forma biocompatible y segura (al menos no se ha observado daño alguno en las retinas de los ratones).

Complementary Colour Swatches by `DigitalPhenom on deviantART CMY and CMYK Unlike RGB, the CMY color model makes use of subtractive color mixing with the primaries cyan, magenta, and yellow, rather than additive color mixing. Subtractive mixing may be familiar to most from painting with watercolors. Furthermore, pigments for the colors cyan, magenta, and yellow are commonly used in printers. The CMY cube, which is equivalent to the flipped RGB cube, is shown in the figure below. The CMY cube. In principle, converting colors from RGB to CMY and back is simple. ⎛⎜⎝cmy⎞⎟⎠=⎛⎜⎝111⎞⎟⎠−⎛⎜⎝rgb⎞⎟⎠(1) ⎛⎜⎝rgb⎞⎟⎠=⎛⎜⎝111⎞⎟⎠−⎛⎜⎝cmy⎞⎟⎠(2) However, there is a problem with this method when used in practice. ⎛⎜ ⎜ ⎜⎝c′m′y′k⎞⎟ ⎟ ⎟⎠=⎛⎜ ⎜ ⎜⎝c−km−ky−kk⎞⎟ ⎟ ⎟⎠,(3) where k=min{c,m,y} [BB09b, p. 223].
