Scientists have created a cyborg eye whose function and structures share many things in common with its human counterpart. Researchers say that bionic eye could surpass the sensitivity of a human one
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology researcher Zhiyong Fan and his colleagues have developed a visual sensor that imitates the actual human eye structure.
It is said that the artificial eye is like the real one that has a lens to focus light, and a retina which is located at the back of the eye. It is where photosensitive cells produce electrical impulses that are sent to the brain.
The eyes are said to function like human eyes. An array of nanowire photosensors is built inside a hemispherical membrane made of aluminium oxide that serves as the retina.
