An autonomous platform uses machine learning and patterned light to detect and terminate cardiac arrhythmias in real time without electrical shocks. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A sudden cardiac arrhythmia, a ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) rostral to the lumbar locomotor center disrupts communication between the brain and the spinal circuits that control leg movements, leading to paraplegia. A research team led ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

The long-term goal of a fully automated insulin delivery (AID) system that operates without user input to maintain glucose levels within target range remains a future aspiration and may never be fully ...

A wearable device pairs glucose-responsive insulin with algorithmic pump control, creating dual safety loops that reduced hypoglycemia from 4.01% to 0.52% in diabetic rats. (Nanowerk Spotlight) An ...

Schematic illustration of the noninvasive closed-loop spinal interface. Hand muscle activity is recorded by surface electrodes and converted into trigger pulses for magnetic stimulation applied over ...
