A proof-of-concept study published in the journal Nano Letters, reports how a groundbreaking new material can activate brain neurons in response to light without the use of wires to an external source of energy or light.
A new material based on wireless nanotechnology that can make brain cells react to light shows promise as a potential artificial retina.
The team, led by Yael Hanein, a professor in the School of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University (TAU) in Israel, hopes their new material - which uses nanotechnology - will one day help restore sight to retinas damaged by diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) - the leading cause of central vision loss worldwide.
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field where you can manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular scale to create materials with remarkable and varied new properties.
