Tellurium nanowire retinal nanoprosthesis
Tellurium nanowire retinal nanoprosthesis improves vision in models of blindness
Present vision restoration technologies have substantial constraints that limit their application in the clinical setting. In this work, we fabricated a subretinal nanoprosthesis using tellurium nanowire networks (TeNWNs) that converts light of both the ...
