Nanoflowers Helps People with AMD

"University of Oregon researcher Richard Taylor is on a quest to grow flowers that will help people who have lost their sight, such as those suffering from macular degeneration, to see again," according to MedicalNewsToday. "These flowers are not roses, tulips or columbines. They will be nanoflowers seeded from nano-sized particles of metals that grow, or self assemble, in a natural process - diffusion limited aggregation. They will be fractals that mimic and communicate efficiently with neurons."
