Dr. Huth has submitted a U.S. Patent Application “SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC STRUCTURE COMPRISNG QUANTIZED-INTERACTIVE SENSITIVE NANOCELLS” based on the findings of this work.

Technology exists to fabricate a precise silicon replica of the imaging area of the retina that would replicate the spatial distribution of light detecting sites defined by this work. Dr. Huth believes that such a passive chip, surgically implanted in contact with the plane of receptor outer segments, might aid in reversing the course of the condition of macular degeneration
