Bionic Vision Breakthrough Enables Blind Patients to Read, Scientists Report

Scientists have reportedly restored reading capability in blind patients using an innovative bionic eye implant. Meanwhile, archaeologists are extracting pregnancy hormones from ancient skeletons, and volunteer weather observers contribute crucial climate data.

Bionic Eye Breakthrough Restores Reading Ability

Scientists have developed a bionic eye technology that has restored reading capability in patients with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to reports from BBC Inside Science. The breakthrough involves implanting a computer chip in the back of patients’ eyes, potentially evoking comparisons to science fiction vision enhancement technology.

Researchers Pioneer Vertical Chip Architecture to Overcome Moore’s Law Limitations

Researchers have created a groundbreaking chip with 41 vertical layers that sidesteps traditional scaling limitations. The new architecture reportedly offers similar performance to conventional chips while potentially reducing the electronics industry’s carbon footprint.

Breaking the Two-Dimensional Barrier

As chip manufacturers approach physical limits of miniaturization, researchers have demonstrated a revolutionary approach: building upward rather than shrinking components further. According to reports from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, a team led by Xiaohang Li has developed a record-breaking chip with 41 vertical layers of semiconductors, creating a transistor stack approximately 10 times taller than any previously manufactured.
