Structure of EC eye

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology report its development of an electrochemical bionic eye that images in three dimensions.  “The key feature allowing such breakthroughs is a 3D artificial retina — made of an array of nanowire light sensors which mimic the photoreceptors in human retinas.  . . . the team connected the nanowire light sensors to a bundle of liquid-metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made hemispherical retina during the experiment, and successfully replicated the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen.” MORE
