So, if you happen to have one of your old Game Boy Colors lying around gathering dust, a London-based DIYer is offering the chance to transform it into a pure emulation engine.Panic’s…

Scientists say they’ve invented a piece of technology that will let us peer through an animal’s eyes better than ever before. The tech uses a combination of novel hardware and software to produce images and videos that accurately represent the colors seen by animals, such as bees and birds. In new research this week, the team found that its innovation nearly matches the accuracy of conventional, yet more limiting, methods used to capture an animal’s color vision.
