Dear Reader,
A new artificial eye successfully mimics the spherical shape of a human peeper, an achievement that could lead to sharper robotic vision and better prosthetic retinas. Other stories featured this week include the soaring number of satellites in orbit around Earth, a device that pumps oxygen into N95 masks to help wearers breathe easier and a cheap device for quickly detecting heavy metals in drinking water.
