The Natcore device would be surgically implanted. It would be a flat round disc with a diameter of approximately 4mm, roughly the size of a pencil eraser.
Dr. Flood has 33 years’ experience in developing solar cell and array technology for both space and terrestrial applications at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, where he served as Chief of the Photovoltaic and Space Environments Branch. He was moved to invent this artificial retina when his wife lost the macula of her left eye at a relatively early age due to a form of wet macular degeneration. His invention uses some of the same carbon nanotube technology already owned by Natcore.
“Given our recent advances with black silicon, the selective emitter and the flexible solar cell, we have an embarrassment of riches,” says Chuck Provini, Natcore’s president and CEO. “The path to commercialization for those three applications is now a relatively short one, while our artificial retina will require much more time. Because of its huge potential and the immediate need for it, we’ll probably look for a joint venture partner, a licensee, or an outright buyer to take it to market.”
