"Scientists in Japan built a finger for a robot from bioengineered muscles, a bracelet-like brain-machine interface from CTRL-labs can turn any surface into a keyboard by eavesdropping on nerves in your wrist, and ingestible bacteria designed at MIT could help doctors diagnose disease. We have plenty more food for thought this week. Keep reading.

"Scientists at Carnegie Mellon built a self-healing skin whose applications could include bio-inspired robots, their colleagues at UCLA found a way to 3D-print muscles and connective tissue, and a team in Norway came up with “evolutionary algorithms” that enabled a robot to teach itself to walk. This week’s science roundup sounds a little like a script for a prequel to a Hollywood blockbuster. Can you name it?

Biologists transferred memories from one animal to another, scientists created a 3D printer for skin, and an already agile humanoid robot just got even more limber. This is the fast lane for science news, folks, and the future is roaring forward.

"A robot in Singapore assembled an IKEA chair, new MRI sensors can peer deep inside the brain, and noise-canceling tech for windows can cut street noise by half. A nice try, but this week’s science will keep people talking.

"A skull-drilling robot, concrete that’s stronger than steel and contact lenses that could help preserve diabetic patients’ vision. Open your eyes to the wonders of science.
 

 

From The Factory Floor To The Surgery Suite

What is it? Jordan Bos of Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands has built a prototype robot that can help perform the precise and risky task of drilling into a patient’s skull during brain surgery.

NASA is planning to bring a swarm or robotic Marsbees to the Red Planet, engineers in Berkeley figured out how to 3D print liquids inside liquids, their pals at USC developed retinal implants that could help us see better in our dotage, and MIT researchers have found a way to take the words right out of your mouth. This week’s developments leave us speechless.

"A 3D-printed helmet that can to peer inside your brain, “organs-on-a-chip” could spell the end of drug testing on animals, and a new machine could make it possible to 3D print custom-designed robots on demand. It’s been a busy week for man and machine.

This week we learned about lab-grown “mini tumors” than could help doctors pick the right treatments for cancer, microrobots inspired by jumping spiders, and an electronically controlled artificial eye that’s thinner than a strand of human hair and can tune out its flaws. This is all science, friends, no fiction!

"This week we saw a chimeric robot with a doglike body and a snakelike head break out of a Boston lab, learned about molecular machines that can be programmed to starve tumors of blood, and learned about a blood test that can help doctors detect concussion. All this progress makes us feel sanguine about science.

Scientists in Pennsylvania are planning to re-engineer human immune cells to sniff out and kill cancer, a drone saved swimmers caught in rough surf in Australia, and an AI robot assistant in England found a new way to fight malaria — in toothpaste. Time to brush up on these and other remarkable developments we discovered this week.
