One of the most talked about stories of the year explored the limits of human perception. Scientists successfully stimulated the experience of a brand-new color, called olo, by firing lasers into participants' retinas to activate only green cone cells."
"We also took viewers deep into the fieldliterally. Chief multimedia editor Jeffery DelViscio traveled to Greenland for a feature story. There he filmed a tour of an underground lab where researchers drill down into the ice to extract cores that, layer by layer, record thousands of years of climate history. This year also marked the start of our collaboration with science communicator Tom Lum, who covered the Ig Nobel Prizes. a parody of the Nobel Prizes that honors discoveries that make people LAUGH, then THINK."

Scientists stimulated a novel color experience called olo by firing lasers into participants' retinas to activate only green cone cells, producing a teal-like hue reported to exist outside the visible spectrum. A field feature documented an underground Greenland lab extracting ice cores that record thousands of years of climate history. Coverage expanded to include the Ig Nobel Prizes and explanations of the three science Nobel Prizes, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
