Photoreceptor 50 times more efficient than human eye found
An international team of researchers has discovered a new type of photoreceptor (a molecule that allows eyes to receive light), claimed to be about 50 times more efficient in capturing light as compared to human eye photoreceptors. Identified as 'LITE-1', the photoreceptor was found in a type of roundworms and is only the third to be found in animals.
