Tellurium possesses broad-spectrum optical absorption from visible to infrared light (top left). A subretinal-implanted tellurium nanoprosthesis replaces activates residual retinal circuitry (bottom left) and the occipital cortex (top right). Minimally invasive easy implantation is achieved by asymmetry engineering and nanowire network morphology (bottom right). Together, these properties make tellurium nanowire networks (TeNWNs) the next generation of visual prosthesis technology. Credit: Science/Fudan University.
