A Retinal Prosthetic Powered by Light Retinal implants powered by light could reverse some vision loss with simple surgery. The new implant, which works like a combination digital imaging chip and photovoltaic array, requires much less bulky hardware than previous designs. The devices have yet to be tested in live animals or human patients, but the implants are creating excitement among researchers because they have greater pixel densities and may restore more vision than other retinal prosthetics being worked on.

12 Greatest Science Fiction War Stories The conventional wisdom is, as Charlie noted, that BSG took themes of political darkness that Ron Moore had played with on DS9 and cranked them up to eleven. Having been watching some of both lately, I think I've come around to the opinion that I first read from Abigail Nussbaum- that while BSG is more unrelentingly grim, and the lights are lower and the characters drink and screw and wallow more (all of which makes for terrific television, don't get me wrong) DS9 's political fiction surrounding war was much more fully realized, less dependent on jamming headline news into contexts where it didn't necessarily belong, and was on the whole, much graver. BSG also was cheated a bit by being an "after the fall" tale, which is always something of trade between the immediate uptick in stakes you gain from Fighting for the Species(tm) versus the whole category of "on the raggedy edge" stories that can't be told because the die has already been cast.
