New modular, spring-like devices maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid bots.

The realistic model could aid the development of better heart implants and shed light on understudied heart disorders.

Rather than start from scratch after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot adapts in the moment to get a better hold.

The soft robotic models are patient-specific and could help clinicians zero in on the best implant for an individual.

Researchers develop a comfortable, form-fitting fabric that recognizes its wearer’s activities, like walking, running, and jumping.

Periodically catching up on sleep can improve gait control for the chronically sleep-deprived.

The method could be a route to quicker, less invasive cancer diagnoses.

Simulations show ultrasound waves at medical imaging frequencies can cause the virus’ shell and spikes to collapse and rupture.

Tough as plastic wrap but elastic like a balloon, the lining could be a target for therapies to limit cancer cells from spreading.
