Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research.

NEW YORK — Surgeons have performed the world’s first transplant of an entire human eye, an extraordinary addition to a face transplant — although it’s far too soon to know if the man will ever see ...

From the first time I saw Blade Runner and heard Rutger Hauer’s Roy Batty describe “C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate,” I’ve wondered what it would be like to see beyond the ...

The ability to regenerate lost body parts has long captured human fascination. Many creatures out in nature can perform feats of repair that far surpass our own abilities. For example, salamanders can ...

Is your ultra-high-definition television really worth it? Do you need a 4K or an 8K screen to get the best viewing experience at home? According to researchers at the University of Cambridge and Meta ...

Computer scientists at the University of Maryland have unveiled a new camera inspired by the mechanics of the human eye. It is designed to enhance how robots perceive and respond to their surroundings ...

Conventional silicon architecture has taken computer vision a long way, but Purdue University researchers are developing an alternative path — taking a cue from nature — that they say is the ...

The eyes are among the most important organs for humans. We rely on them to navigate the world, and they serve as our most relied upon and useful sense. But now, researchers are finding that plastic ...

Human eyes are complex and irreparable, yet they are structurally like those of the freshwater apple snail, which can completely regenerate its eyes. Alice Accorsi, assistant professor of molecular ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people. When you ...

This snail could one day save eyes. The golden apple snail has camera-type eyes that are fundamentally similar to the human eye. Unlike humans, the snail can regenerate a missing or damaged eye. UC ...
