For the first time ever, scientists have 3D-printed an array of light sensors onto an eyeball-shaped surface. Eventually, a scaled-up version of the device could restore vision to the blind, or even improve the vision of sighted people. New research published this week in Advanced Materials describes the device. Researchers at the University of Minnesota 3D-printed a light-sensitive array, comprised of silver particles and semiconducting materials, onto a domed surface made of glass.

We all know there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but one man’s alleged scheme to score free dinners off women he met online could land him in prison.

That comes out to about $18,000 USD each.

DNA evidence appears to have revealed an ancient parrot-breeding operation in the southwestern United States, a new study reports. A team of researchers from several U.S. universities analyzed ancient scarlet macaw DNA to try to understand how so many scarlet macaw skeletons ended up outside their native range of Central and South America. After reconstructing genomes from bird bones, it appeared that some group of humans had bred the macaws.

OnePlus is well known among smartphone and tech enthusiasts, but more than four years after releasing its first handset and partnering with supermodels and trendy fashion brands like Colette to help push its products, OnePlus still isn’t exactly a household name in the U.S.
