Science Corporation, founded by the former president of Elon Musk’s Neuralink, has acquired a vision implant in advanced testing that produces a form of “artificial vision,” enabling some patients to read text and do crosswords. The implant, detailed in The New England Journal of Medicine, uses a microelectronic chip placed under the retina, emitting electrical bursts to bypass damaged photoreceptor cells due to macular degeneration. Signals come from a camera mounted on glasses. Flowers, visual indicators of climate conditions, are the focus of a new artistic project exploring how they might change in the future due to climate change. Flower form can display the impact of climate, with petal pigmentation changes in dry years and size increases in warm years. Higher ozone levels may even increase a flower's ultraviolet-absorbing pigment. Redwood Materials is expanding into reuse with Redwood Energy, a new branch incorporating used EV batteries into microgrids to power energy-hungry AI data centers. This follows Redwood's success as a top US battery recycler, partnering with companies like Volkswagen, BMW, and Toyota.
