By combining stretchable optoelectronics and biologically inspired design, researchers have created a remarkable imaging device, with a layout based on the human eye. As reported in the 7 August issue of Nature, a team of scientists, led by John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Yonggang Huang of Northwestern University in Evanston, have developed a high-performance, hemispherical 'eye' camera using an array of single-crystalline silicon detectors and electronics, configured in a stretchable, interconnected mesh...
