Researchers Create Artificial Retina From Silicon

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University have made a breakthrough in the field of vision. Kareem Amir Zaghloul and Kwabena Boahen have proposed a silicon retina that reproduces signals in the optic nerve, a technology which could be used to provide vision to those who suffer from blindness-related diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa.

If this can help blind people see, then this truly is a breakthrough. If science is your strong point, the article has many reference images to show how it’s done.
