New light sensor technology that almost mimicks the human retina just knocking on our door:

One of the disadvantages of modern photo cameras is the flat image sensor that converts light into electric signals. Because of its shape, optics must make up for various aberrations that come to light (excuse the pun). Now scientists at Northwestern University and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed technology that allows for building curved sensors and accompanying electronics. The technology one day might come in handy for developing artificial retinas or next generation endoscopic devices.
