funny you should mention this. there is a paper getting some notoriety 
lately -- Quantum experiments with human eyes as detectors based on 
cloning via stimulated emission" -- by some physicists in which they 
calculate that the human eye could be used as a detector for certain 
kinds of quantum entanglement experiments. mainly a fun thing. but one 
of the really interesting areas of quantum physics lately is not the 
massively expensive collider experiments but the experiments that probe 
the boundary between quantum and classical behavior.


here are abstracts for those interested:

otherwise, i am with Shok on "energy" ....
