Not that long ago, the concept of the bionic human seemed far-fetched, but wearable robotic suits, brain-controlled extra limbs and mind-operated wheelchairs are now under active development. They ...

A bionic eye being developed by a team of biomedical researchers at the University of Sydney and UNSW has shown to be safe and stable for long-term implantation in a three-month study, paving the way ...

Scientists say they’ve made a bionic human-compatible eyeball that has nearly 50 times more “sensing” nanowires than there are optic cells in the human retina. The researchers suggest the eventual ...
