The potential carcinogen is formed during the manufacture of the familiar caramel color that is added to many widely-consumed beverages. A law in California requires that drinks...

'Bionic' eye allows man to see wife for first time in a decade

A Blind man is now able to see objects and people again, including his wife and family, for the first time in a decade. How? With the help of a bionic eye implant.
