"Tiny blood-purifying robots, a 3D-printed neighborhood and artificial nerves that could give prosthetic limbs the ability to “feel” — this week’s scientific developments may be legitimate life-changers.

"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.

Researchers in Berkeley are working on a way to implant and erase sensations in the brain with a holographic laser, engineers in Canada plan to use “spooky action at a distance” to sniff out planes and missiles invisible on radar, and a “stealth startup” near Boston is seeking to reverse aging in dogs and potentially humans. This weekly dose of science could have a lasting impact.

"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.

Scientists grew “mini brains” inside rodent skulls, created a thin film that can reuse heat energy emanating from computers, engineered an enzyme that could help take care of plastic pollution and finally figured out how to shade contact lenses in sunlight. Just like our star, science has been shining exceptionally bright this week!

New tech could help patients manage diabetes and prevent vision loss, hydrocarbon-hungry bacteria might eat up pollution on land and water, and a materials scientist came up with an “omniphobic” coating that prevents just about any kind of grease or grime from sticking to smartphones and other surfaces. We hope you’ll stick around, though, for this week’s coolest scientific developments.

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.
