With backing from Khosla Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, and Y Combinator, Opentrons aims to revolutionize lab work for all scientists

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
