What happens when we push the boundaries of human capability?

Well, we're about to find out. This is Curiosity Weekly, and I'm your host, Dr. Samantha

Youmeet. Technology is constantly pushing the limits of what our bodies can do, with wearable

exoskeletons that give us superhuman strength to brain computer interfaces that allow people to communicate with their thoughts.

The possibilities are incredible,

and we're about to learn about a new bionic eye that can restore some vision to people with a certain type of blindness.

But while technology can expand these physical frontiers,

our bodies also face new challenges

from the limits imposed by our changing environment.

Senior producer Teresa Carey will talk with Dr. George's Benjamin about the complex link between

climate change and human health and how communities are adapting in creative ways.

And speaking of limits, stick around to the end because I'm excited

to share with you a new study that explores whether there's a cap on how much energy our bodies can

spend. This study will give us insights into our metabolism and what it means for fitness.

A new wireless implant is a hopeful step for people living with a common form of severe vision

loss called age-related macular degeneration. Scientists have announced success with a tiny,

high-tech eye implant that could actually help people regain some lost sight, specifically in their

central vision. In the back of the eye, that central part of the retina helps us focus on finer details.

This is crucial for common tasks like reading or driving.

But with macular degeneration, that center part of the retina is lost over time.

When the disease advances, it can cause blindness and central vision,

making everyday activities like reading, identifying loved ones, or safely
