stanley quencher line reports that NBC Universal has tapped Mr. Robots Sam Esmail to headline a reboot of the beloved sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica for its newly unveiled streaming service. Which is called Peacock. Yes, really. Anyway, so far not
stanley drinking cup much is known about the reboot, other than Esmails involvement and that its now happening. NBC Universal has a long history with the series鈥攁bout the last remnants of humanity on the run from a sinister, overwhelmingly powerful race of robots called the Cylons鈥攐f course, having produced Glen A. Larsons original in 1978, which ran for just one season on ABC, and then produced Ronald D. Moores beloved reboot, which aired on Syfy from 2004 to 2009. But I guess, in this age of streaming wars, every company around looking to make their own platform is returning to past successes in the hopes of making it new again for streaming. In the sci-fi realm Disney has Star Wars, CBS of course has Star Trek, Apple now has Jason Momoa. And now, NBC has Battlestar again.

UPDATE 9/17 12.10PM: It did not take us long to learn more! In the wake of this mornings news, Esmail took to Twitter to clarify his show is not a remake of the 2004 series, or seemingly even the 1978 version. Instead, it is a new story within

It will take years before the contact lens can function as promised directly on a human eye. The prototype only functions in a special rig using several components that will have to be dramatically miniaturized before a human could wear it, and the test subjects look less than comfortable with a series of electrodes placed on their skin around their eyes. But it demonstrates some fascinating uses of existing technology that could make contacts a viable alternative for more users. There are two parts to the new contact lens, as detailed in a recently published paper, A Biomimetic Soft Lens Controlled by Electrooculographic Signal. The first is

In this case, wires deliver electricity from an external power source which causes the layers to either expand, reducing the lenss thickness, or contract, which has the opposite effect. Imagine a squishy ball getting thinner as you squeeze it. In either behavior, the focal point of the light passing through the artificial lens is altered, which defines what in front of the lens appears in focus. A
