　　An eye for new technology

　　VIDEO glasses - they make geeks (书呆子) look cool in movies. Now, thanks to scientists, the reality could be even cooler. Professor Babak Parviz of the University of Washington in the US and his team have created an electronic contact lens (隐形眼镜), which could allow you to watch TV and see electronic documents and e­mails directly on your eyes, according to Popscience. com on November 22.

　　The new lens can be put onto your eyeball and removed just like a normal contact lens. It contains several components (部件), including an LED (发光二极管) light, an electronic circuit (电路) and an antenna that picks up power and information through a wireless (无线的) connection.

　　In order not to block people's normal field of vision, the researchers have kept all the components extremely tiny. Parviz is an expert at making parts on a nanoscale (纳米尺度) that are thousands of times thinner than a human hair.

Apart from its size, another challenge facing researchers is that the human eye can only focus
