### Chip to Heal Blindness
**Revolutionary Eye Implant**: European scientists have developed a tiny eye implant aimed at curing blindness by converting electrical signals into visual images in the brain. Key points about this breakthrough include:
- **Functionality**: Designed to bypass damaged parts of the eye and directly stimulate the visual cortex.
- **Previous Challenges**: Earlier implants were bulky and required thousands of electrodes, causing potential brain scarring.
- **New Design**: 
  - The implant is as small as a single brain cell.
  - Incorporates thousands of electrode "threads" for detailed imaging.
  - Uses non-corroding materials and a protective conducting polymer layer.
  - Measures 40 micrometers wide and 10 micrometers thick, with minimal metal to prevent corrosion.
- **Research Collaboration**: Involves Chalmers University of Technology, University of Freiburg, and the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience.
- **Future Developments**: Plans to insert thousands of electrodes in a project called Neuraviper.
- **Testing and Durability**: Successful tests in mice showed stable performance throughout their natural lifespans.
