Natural perspective is a non-standard perspective that better captures some elements onto a photograph. In contrast to linear perspective, which warps images around a central focal point, natural perspective captures objects further away closer to how we see them. But it’s not a perfect perspective. Natural perspective rarely keeps lines as straight as we perceive them, making them crooked or curved — a problem linear perspective doesn’t have. Read full article here

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
