Professor Marco Terenzio illustrates how substances are transported along axons, between the cell body and the periphery of neurons.

Prof. Froese demonstrates the perceptual crossing paradigm – a virtual reality game where participants rely on vibrations to interact with static and moving objects, as well as another player’s virtual avatar.

Chlorophyll pigment molecules pass energy from a photon until it reaches a special molecule of chlorophyll -- the reaction center. Photosynthesis' efficiency may be due to the photon energy's simultaneous exploration of every possible chlorophyll route to the reaction center, whereby it chooses the shortest path -- a phenomenon only possible under quantum conditions. After the photon reaches the reaction center molecule, it loses an electron to an electron acceptor molecule. The replacement of this lost electron causes a chain reaction that leads to the production of sugar, a plant's sustenance, and the release of oxygen. Drawing by Vanessa Schipani
