An international research team involving scientists from Italy, Australia, Sweden, and the United States has made a remarkable breakthrough in bionic arm technology. Their pioneering work has led to ...

Overall, these results show the fantastic prospects for subsurface tactile tomography for application in the human body." The researchers also believe that the bionic finger system could be useful in ...

When the sensors and AI were helping, the participants could "very reliably" grasp a cup and pretend to take a sip, Trout ...

Some say the next step in human evolution will be the integration of technology with flesh. Now, researchers have used virtual reality to test whether humans can feel embodiment -- the sense that ...

Researchers at the University of Utah now report a way to make that trade-off a little bit easier. By giving a bionic hand a ...
