A group of researchers has developed WanderPal, a smart wearable device that could radically change the way people with severe visual impairments navigate cities. The device combines artificial intelligence and tactile feedback to…

Researchers at Rice and Utah universities have developed a new type of soft, multistable metamaterial capable of changing shape when exposed to magnetic fields and maintaining its new configuration even after the external…

German researchers have developed an innovative underwater robot with artificial intelligence that could transform the way we deal with marine pollution by collecting ocean debris with its giant four-fingered robotic hand. To tackle…

Jennifer Chu | MIT News Teaching a robot new skills used to require coding expertise. But a new generation of robots could potentially learn from just about anyone. Engineers are designing robotic helpers that can…

Anne Trafton | MIT News MIT researchers have developed a new bionic knee that can help people with above-the-knee amputations walk faster, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles more easily than they could with a traditional…

A groundbreaking nanomaterial developed by the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) is redefining the role of nanotechnology in cancer treatment. This innovation—a three-layered nanodisk made of gold and iron—not only…

Virtual reality (VR) has been gaining ground as a supportive tool in the rehabilitation of people who have suffered a stroke. According to a Cochrane review — one of the most respected organizations…

Placing an external ventricular drain (EVD) is a routine but high-stakes neurosurgical procedure used to relieve intracranial pressure. It’s typically done in emergency settings — and often performed freehand, without real-time imaging. The…
