The research lays the foundations for futuristic soft active matter with highly distributed and tightly integrated sensing, actuation, computation, and control

Automated next-generation sequencing (NGS) solution increases efficiency and reduces manual intervention for up to 96 samples per day

Study shows first applications of DNA origami for nanomedicine

The millimeter-scale robot opens new avenues for microsurgery, microassembly, and micromanipulation

Technology provides alternative to herbicides, hand-weeding

Such soft robots contain tremendous potential for future applications as they adapt to dynamic environments and are well-suited to closely interact with humans

While engineers have had success building tiny, insect-like robots, programming them to behave autonomously like real insects continues to present technical challenges

Using a process that includes a handler makes the results easier to collect as well as more accurate and repeatable

A new study by neuroscientists at the University of Chicago shows how amputees can learn to control a robotic arm through electrodes implanted in the brain

Scientists suggest their findings could lead to a way to deliver drugs to parts of the body that are otherwise difficult to treat
