世界首款人造3D眼問世

The world's first 3D artificial eyeball - capable of outperforming the human eye in some ways - may help droves of people who are partially or fully blind in five years, according to experts.

專家稱，世界首款3D人造眼球有望在五年內幫助許多部分或完全失明的人重見光明，這種人造眼球在某些方面比人眼還要好。

Researchers from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have devised an electrochemical eye whose structure and performance mimic those of the ones humans are born with.

香港科技大學的研究人員設計了一款模擬人眼結構和性能的電化學眼球。

"The device design has a high degree of structural similarity to a human eye with the potential to achieve high imaging resolution when individual nanowires are electrically addressed," researchers of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology wrote in a paper published in the journal Nature.

香港科技大學研究人員在《自然》雜誌上發表的論文中寫道，該設備的設計結構與人眼高度相似，當對單個納米線進行電尋址時，具有實現高成像分辨率的潛力。

Aside from helping individuals improve their vision, experts claim the technology may help create biomimetic photosensing devices that could be used in a "wide spectrum of technological applications."

除了幫助人們提高視力外，專家稱這項技術可能還有助於創造能被廣泛應用於各種技術領域的仿生光敏設備。
