Awesome stuff. They're making artificial retinas. They've done some of their research and product development on the International Space Station: the microgravity environment allows for fewer defects in the deposition of the artificial retina's layers. They're also looking forward to actual production in space, which is awesome because we're getting close to the time that space-based enterprises, beyond research and communications, are becoming affordable. It's still hella expensive, but floating factories are gonna happen.
