For decades, treatments for macular degeneration have focused on slowing, not restoring vision loss. A new retinal implant is flipping that script, turning patients with geographic atrophy into ...

Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...

Fabrication of nanoscale light-sensitive materials, known as quantum dots, created a device that reacts to light faster than the human eye. It could revolutionize autonomous vehicles. WASHINGTON, July ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people. When you ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging advances, from gene editing and stem cells to microchips and laser-based ...

A bioinspired robotic eye could inspire the next generation of autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial robots.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

Is your ultra-high-definition television really worth it? Do you need a 4K or an 8K screen to get the best viewing experience at home? According to researchers at the University of Cambridge and Meta ...

Scientists say humans share ancestry with a tiny one eyed creature from 600 million years ago, and remnants of its “cyclops” eye may still exist deep inside our brains.

A utonomous vehicles face many hazards as they set out on the road. Cyclists swerve in and out of traffic, distracted pedestrians amble into the road, human drivers change lanes without indicating.

Bilal Haider receives funding from NIH and the Simons Foundation. Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped ...
