Brain-machine interface enthusiasts often gush about “closing the loop.” It’s for good reason. On the implant level, it means engineering smarter probes that only activate when they detect faulty electrical signals in brain circuits. Elon Musk’s Neuralink—among other...
Users of prosthetic limbs could soon be able to feel sensation on them, thanks to an “electronic skin” (e-skin) invented by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS). The artificial nervous system can detect touch more than 1,000 times...
The “electronic skin,” inspired by the nervous system, can sense temperature, pressure, or humidity. It could be used to give prosthetic limbs a more complex sense of touch. Read more...
SINGAPORE — Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a self-repairing material that they hope will someday be used to make mobile touchscreens, prosthetics and soft robotics that can “heal” themselves from cuts or scratches....
Repairing smartphone touch screens may one day be a thing of the past. The reason: Future smartphones may have screens that “heal” themselves. Read it on:...
(CNN) Luke Skywalker losing his right hand may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for real-life amputees. Because at the stroke of Darth Vader’s lightsaber, the grizzliest moment in “The Empire Strikes Back” has had a useful, if unintentional,...
Taking inspiration from jellyfish, researchers have developed a touch-sensitive skin that could be used to help humans interact with machines. Read it on:...
The annual Young Scientist Award, given out with the President’s Science and Technology Award this week, recognises promising researchers aged 35 and below. Carolyn Khew speaks to this year’s winning scientists, who are already making waves in their...
