U.S. scientists are using nanotechnology to develop a distant target can be narrowed and analysis of electronic contact lenses.
According to reports, the U.S. Sandia National Laboratories researchers Harvey? He recently by the American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers hosted an international meeting announced, the researchers first successfully implanted in a normal lighting circuit and contact lenses in.
Implantable contact lens in the circuit consists of a few nanometers thin metal. 1 nanometer is 1 nanometer, a billionth of a meter. Experiment, the rabbits wear glasses that more than 20 minutes, the eye does not suffer any injury.
Participated in the study Electronic Engineering, University of Washington scientist babak? Parviz said, and despite the initial results achieved, but the technology has broad application prospects. For example, the divers and pilots can use these glasses to determine the direction and speed, gamers can "under the eyes of" playing the game, visually impaired and there may be "regain vision."
"People may find all kinds of previously unimaginable applications," Parviz said, "Our goal is to demonstrate this basic technology to ensure its effectiveness and safety."
