An MIT-developed inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a…
Researchers identified a potential new target for malaria drugs: an enzyme called acetyl-CoA synthetase found in plasmodium. This 3D artistic illustration depicts blood cells, including…
The study reveals the urgent need to report, measure, and control the environmental conditions of the media in which cells are cultured, which should improve…
Blood vessels in mouse kidneys were coated with a special polymer, which helped prevent the recipient mouse’s immune system from rejecting them after a transplant.…
Researchers warn of the potential social, ethical, and legal consequences of technologies interacting heavily with human brains. Surpassing the biological limitations of the brain and…
Engineers have developed a sweat-proof “electronic skin” — a conformable, sensor-embedded sticky patch that reliably monitors a person’s health, even when a wearer is perspiring.…
Multimodal nanosensors (1) are engineered to target and respond to hallmarks in the tumor microenvironment. The nanosensors provide both a noninvasive urinary monitoring tool (2)…
When these self-propelled particles come together, they can organize and move like schools of fish to perform robotic functions. Credit: Kyle Bishop Lab Columbia and…
Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a cell (purple) heavily infected with SARS-COV-2 virus particles (yellow), isolated from a patient sample. Image captured at the NIAID…
The Soterius Scout sensor can detect COVID-19 even if someone is asymptomatic, to provide the all-clear for someone to enter their work environment. Credit: Soterius…
