Diamond power could be a medical implant's best friend

RMIT researchers have created an experimental 3D-printed diamond–titanium device that generates electricity from flowing liquid and receives wireless power through tissue making it possible to remotely sense changes in flow.

Brain signals from cerebellum can control prosthetic devices

Cedars-Sinai investigators found a new way to control prosthetic devices using brain signals. Their preclinical findings, if confirmed in clinical studies, could help stroke survivors control external prosthetic devices to ...

When stem cells feel the squeeze, they start building bone

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing through narrow spaces.
