Peacock Feathers Emit Laser Light in 1st Known ‘Biolaser Cavity’ in Animal Kingdom, Say Scientists | 🔬 LatestLY
Peacock feathers, already adored for their dazzling structural colour, have now been found to hide an even more remarkable optical feature, the ability to emit laser light. The discovery adds a new dimension to how complex biological structures manipulate light and could open up new avenues for biophotonic research. 🔬 Peacock Feathers Emit Laser Light in 1st Known ‘Biolaser Cavity’ in Animal Kingdom, Say Scientists.
This work could lead to the creation of new biocompatible medical devices to monitor the evolution of different physiological parameters.
Laser attraction: it is the one generated by the peacock when he makes the wheel to conquer a female. And it is not at all a way of saying: a team of scientists from Florida Polytechnic University and Youngstown State University (Usa) found in fact that the feathers of the peacock are not only wonderfully iridescent thanks to their pigments, but also contain an incredible natural technology. The light is amplified and directed just like a laser …
Blue peacocks are considered very magnificent birds: especially their tail feathers impress. Now it turns out that they also have special physical properties.
