Inspired by the enhanced visual system of butterflies, a team of researchers has developed an imaging sensor capable of "seeing" into the UV range that human eyes can't access and can even differentiate between cancer cells and normal cells with 99% confidence.

1. Seeing the unseen: How butterflies can help scientists detect cancer
  
  There are many creatures on our planet with more advanced senses than humans. Turtles can sense Earth's magnetic field. Mantis shrimp can detect polarized light. Elephants can hear much lower frequencies than humans can. Butterflies can perceive a broader range of colors, including ultraviolet (UV) light.
