image: An animated GIF. An organ called the Ampullae of Lorenzini allows sharks, skate fish, and rays to detect very weak electric fields produced by potential prey. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the May 13, 2016, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by E.E. Josberger at University of Washington in Seattle, Wash., and colleagues was titled, "Proton conductivity in ampullae of Lorenzini jelly." view more
