A bionic eye with sensitivity is better than a human — a new development by scientists from Hong Kong
A new development of scientists from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology — the bionic eye. In the future, they plan to use this technology for prosthetics and humanoid robotics.
The device is a three-dimensional artificial retina, which has a dense array of extremely sensitive to light nanowires. Its membrane is made of aluminum oxide and equipped with miniature sensors. At the moment, the bionic eye has successfully passed the tests and, according to researchers, it showed itself to be better than the human eye, it says in a study from the journal Nature.
It is reported that the device allows you to see in the dark and respond to changes in light faster than the human eye does. The prototype adapts to changing conditions in less time.
At the moment, scientists are planning to connect the bionic eye to the human visual system.
Previously, Australian developers demonstrated a prototype personal health sensor which is attached to the skin. Accurate patch data will help the user track the body’s reactions to certain foods and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in the future.
