Building a Bionic Eye Using 'Bioinspiration'
Researchers at the University of Oregon are developing a new type of retinal implant inspired by nature's patterns, that may reverse vision loss.
“The reason I'm so excited is that this paper is three years of data that explores what happens when these retinal cells interact with a fractal electrode,” said UO physicist, Richard Taylor .
