THIS bionic eye could give humans night vision and quicker reaction times in the future, according to new research.
Scientists have created a proof-of-concept version of the eye that's even more sensitive than a human one.
The device mimics the structure of a human eye and could one day be inserted into people as a prosthetic.
Researcher Zhiyong Fan from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology told Science News: "In the future, we can use this for better vision prostheses and humanoid robotics."
The bionic eye concept consists of a 3D artificial retina and nanowires that could mimic how visual information is relayed to the human brain.
The scientists wrote in their study: "Here we present an electrochemical eye with a hemispherical retina made of a high-density array of nanowires mimicking the photoreceptors on a human retina.
