Scientists have developed a groundbreaking artificial retina that can partially restore vision by converting light into electrical signals. Instead of repairing damaged photoreceptors, the device directly stimulates retinal ganglion cells, which still function in many cases of blindness. Using a phototransistor array and soft liquid metal electrodes, it safely delivers signals to the brain. Early tests in blind mice showed promising results, including restoration of light perception. Beyond treatment, this innovation could introduce a new “infrared vision” channel in humans. While still in early stages, it represents a major shift from restoring vision to potentially enhancing human sensory capabilities. |
