California biohackers create night vision eye drops | Science! | Geek.com: "California scientists have developed eye drops that grant night vision.
The Tehachapi-based, independent “citizen science” group Science for the Masses created the sellable superpower after researching a natural molecule called Chlorin e6. Ce6 allows certain deep sea fish to see in the dark, and if Spider-Man has taught us anything other than what comes with great power, it’s that scientifically transferring animal abilities to humans is always awesome. Fortunately, the molecule can also easily by extracted from plants like algae, and it’s already used in some cancer treatments, so it’s proven human-safe."
