Technology Watch: diamond eyes with lasers - robkelk - 07-23-2016

There's a local-to-me startup that's making bionic eyes out of diamond (well, the casing is diamond) and transmitting visual data to them with lasers instead of cables (which tend to be infection vectors).

Here's hoping they perfect the tech before any of us need it...
