Scientists have found a way to help frogs grow new limbs with a combination of five drugs and a bioreactor.
Steve Verze became the first man in the world to be gifted with a 3D printed eye
A new "autarchic" solution can revolutionize the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, a condition that afflicts millions of people.
A sensor system that does not require an external power supply allows those who have suffered damage to recover their touch.
The first totally artificial heart transplant is a success: it imitates human behavior, complete with liquid pumped inside.
Machine learning achieves something that seemed impossible: translating the thought of birds into song. And still not enough: the big target is the human voice
A third eye that does not show us invisible, but visible realities: the light pole we encounter if we look at the smartphone, for example. Here is a much more interesting project than it looks.
Until we find a way to get along, with wars men will find more and more effective ways of killing each other. Here is the possible, terrible future.
Theories, procedures and efforts to map and preserve the connectome, the "map" of all our brain connections, and perhaps of our ego, are increasing.
A recent WHO report highlights the importance of technology in both the education and practice of nurses. Here are the most promising technologies.
The arms race reaches the biological level. Chinese advances towards the creation of a super soldier drag other nations as well.
Cheaper refrigerators? Stronger dentures? A better understanding of human diseases? This and more could be possible one day, thanks to an ambitious new project from NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the USA. NIST researchers are in the early stages of a huge undertaking. That of designing and building a fleet of tiny ultrasensitive nano thermometers. If they are successful, their system will be the first to make real-time temperature measurements on a microscopic scale. … Read more
A research team has developed electronic skin that reacts to pain just like human skin.
Films and books open a window into the future, and often anticipate and inspire modern technologies. Here are 5 of them with their “quotes”.
The development of an artificial retina is the major advance in research into a bionic eye that is potentially able to see better than the human eye.
The progress of the brain-computer interface is marked by many small advances. This relating to language is epochal: these are the first steps of "mind reading".
An experiment connected artificial and biological neurons (through artificial synapses). First steps for the internet of neuroelectronics
It injects directly into the bones and repairs them, or strengthens them, much more and much more quickly. It is a new Novosteo drug and can save lives.
Dymka had had all four legs (and some of her tail) amputated due to frostbite. Today it is a bionic cat made of titanium thanks to 3D printing.
