Researchers have discovered a new law of physics that accounts for that accounts for elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) friction, which should advance a wide range of robotic technologies.
Researchers have demonstrated that, with training, neural control of a powered prosthetic ankle can restore a wide range of abilities, including standing on very challenging surfaces and squatting.
Researchers took a step forward in the development of an armband that could track the heart’s electrical activity without requiring bulky wiring or sticky gel on the skin.
An analysis highlights the realistic pros and cons of apps and other technologies that use AI to benefit older adults, including those facing dementia and cognitive decline.
Researchers have developed a chip that is powered wirelessly and can be surgically implanted to read neural signals and stimulate the brain with both light and electrical current.
Researchers assessed what would motivate people to use chatbots for mental health services in the wake of a mass shooting.
Researchers have developed new software that can be integrated with existing hardware to enable people using robotic prosthetics to walk in a safer, more natural manner on different types of terrain.
Researchers have created ultrathin, stretchable electronic material that is gas permeable, allowing the material to “breathe”.
The UNC School of Medicine lab of Jason Franz, PhD, created virtual reality experiments to show how a potentially portable and inexpensive test could reduce falls and related injuries in people with multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have developed a technique that allows them to remotely control the movement of soft robots, lock them into position for as long as needed and later reconfigure the robots into new shapes.
Biomedical engineers have developed a portable optical coherence tomography scanner that promises to bring the vision-saving technology to underserved regions.
Researchers have developed a technique to improve the characteristics of engineered tissues by using ultrasound to align living cells during the biofabrication process.
Researchers have developed an intelligent system for "tuning" powered prosthetic knees, allowing patients to walk comfortably with the prosthetic device in minutes.
Researchers have developed new technology for decoding neuromuscular signals to control powered, prosthetic wrists and hands.
