See in the dark (for a little bit) with night vision eyedrops
Daring biohackers from California's Science for the Masses collective have just performed the world's first night vision-enabling "Shine Job." They employed a chemical called Chlorin e6 (Ce6), which is extracted from deep sea fish and occasionally used to treat night blindness, to give a human the ability to temporarily see in the dark using painless eye drops. "There are a fair amount of papers talking about having it injected in models like rats, and it's been used intravenously since the '60s as a treatment for different cancers," Science for the Masses medical officer Jeffrey Tibbetts told Mic. "After doing the research, you have to take the next step."
