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.

A new prototype webcam looks like a realistic human eye, complete with its own eyebrow – and it blinks, too. If that's not enough, it's also capable of looking around and acting out on its own accord.

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

A team of scientists from the United States and Hong Kong has built a "bionic eye' that mimics a human eye in shape and function. The eye, currently in its prototype stage, could one day be used as a ...

All-seeing: artist's impression of the biomimetic eye (Courtesy: Yaying Xu/oFantastic Color Animation Technology Co.) An artificial device that closely mimics the structure and function of the human ...

Dry eye disease affects millions of people, causing burning, redness, and constant eye fatigue that can worsen over time. Scientists now believe the problem may begin deep inside tear glands, where a ...

Through the looking glass: Warren Spector's vision of the future in Deus Ex is beginning to come to life. Scientists now have a working bionic eyeball that, at least in theory, could augment a human's ...

Scientists have used a lightweight eye-tracking system composed of miniature video cameras and motion sensors to record head and eye movements in mice without restricting movement or behavior.

The human eye is a sensory organ that reacts to light, allowing people to see. Many eye conditions can lead to vision complications. Some eye problems are minor and may go away on their own or are ...
