Building the Bionic Eye | Bio-inspired Nanoelectronics

Imagine what it would be like to lose your vision. That may be closer to reality than imagination for a large portion of the population. One in four people will lose sight in their lifetime, but Richard Taylor and a team of experts are working to reverse that by developing a new type of retinal implant.
Richard is an academic expert in chaos theory, fractals, and the relationship between art and science. At the University of Oregon, he is a professor of physics, psychology and art, and the director of the Materials Science Institute. Richard’s research focuses on "bioinspiration" in which artificial systems benefit from using nature's patterns (fractals and chaos).
