Robotic thread is designed to slip through the brain’s blood vessels
MIT engineers have developed robotic thread that can be steered magnetically and is small enough to work through narrow spaces such as the vasculature of the human brain. The researchers envision the…
Nanoparticles could someday give humans built-in night vision
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School have found a way to provide a built-in night vision to Humans using nanoparticles. They have already successfully tested their technology with the Mices….
Self-folding ‘Rollbot’ paves the way for fully untethered soft robots
The majority of soft robots today rely on external power and control, keeping them tethered to off-board systems or rigged with hard components. Now, researchers from Harvard and Caltech have developed soft…
Wearable sensors detect what’s in your sweat
A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, is developing wearable skin sensors that can detect what’s in your sweat. They hope that one day, monitoring perspiration could bypass the…
