Using various microscopic imaging approaches, the scientists found that the unique spatial vision in the scallop is achieved through the mirror's layered structure located at the back of each eye, which is tiled with a mosaic of square - shaped crystals arranged and fine - tuned to reflect wavelengths of light that penetrate its habitat.

Specifically, in this work he has applied geometric structures similar to those of a crystal or graphene layer, not typically used to describe black holes, since these geometries better match what happens inside a black hole: «Just as crystals have imperfections in their microscopic structure, the central region of a black hole can be interpreted as an anomaly in space - time, which requires new geometric elements in order to be able to describe them more precisely.

«We used lasers to create artificial crystals and then explored what is happening in microscopic detail, which is something you just can not do in an everyday material.»

A team from the University of Buffalo has found that tiny crystal lattices called «self - assembling molecular nanosheets» expand after exposed to light, a discovery that could lead to new light - powered actuators, oscillators and other microscopic electronic components used in artificial muscles and other soft robotic systems.

The color is selected with an electrically switched light modulator comprising a microscopic cavity that is switched on and off using driver integrated circuits similar to those used to address liquid crystal displays (LCD).
