London, United Kingdom – A bionic suit sounds like something out of a 1970s science fiction blockbuster. But the movies have come to life for users of an innovative wearable robot that is allowing ...

Scientists say they’ve made a bionic human-compatible eyeball that has nearly 50 times more “sensing” nanowires than there are optic cells in the human retina. The researchers suggest the eventual ...

The human fingertip is an exquisitely sensitive instrument for perceiving objects in our environment via the sense of touch. A team of Chinese scientists has mimicked the underlying perceptual ...

A team of scientists at Harvard University says it has come up with a bionic leaf — a system that could use solar power and hydrogen-eating bacteria to generate liquid fuel. The findings, described in ...

With the first thought-controlled bionic leg pioneered in Chicago, the next steps for smart prosthetics are refining them for widespread use and tackling a huge hurdle: sensory feedback. Nick Statt ...

Bionic limbs have evolved dramatically over the years to include mind-controlled arms and artificial hands that “feel” via something called M.A.S.S. Impact (Muscle Activity Sensor Strip), which uses ...

Phantom limb pain is a common problem for people who undergo amputation, and so is the ability to function even with a regular prosthetic, but a medical advance that sounds like it comes straight out ...

Researchers look to create a bionic eye that can restore people’s sight. Vision loss affects millions of Americans. But University of Oregon researchers are looking to create an electronic solution- a ...

Scientists have helped three amputees merge with their bionic prosthetic legs as they climb over various obstacles without having to look. The amputees report using and feeling their bionic leg as ...

Researchers have paired a solar-powered catalyzing device with genetically engineered bacteria to convert water and carbon dioxide into an alcohol-based liquid fuel. The system, dubbed a "bionic leaf, ...
