For the first time, scientists have successfully grown functional brain tissue in the lab without using any animal-derived materials or natural biological coatings. Unlike the well-known organoids—often called mini-brains—these structures are simplified organs created from living cells and designed to closely mimic the natural brain environment. The Challenge of Animal-Based Coatings in Neural Tissue Engineering

There’s a subtle boundary between mathematics and art—and it seems materials science and paper art share one as well. At first look, the flat, tiled grid created by MIT researchers appears unremarkable.A single pull of the string transforms the grid into its designed 3D form. Inspired by kirigami, the new material could serve in medical

Science has long acknowledged five core senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—but ongoing research suggests this list may be incomplete. A recent study from Queen Mary University and UCL suggests humans have a seventh sense, “remote touch,” allowing object detection without contact. Nature’s Inspiration: How Birds Detect Hidden Prey The idea was inspired by birds

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday unveiled two bio-inspired robots powered by a hydraulic fluid battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) mimics biological processes by releasing electrolytic fluids that generate energy through chemical reactions. The showcased robots—a modular worm and a jellyfish—were developed by Cornell Engineering labs. Their batteries use “embodied energy,” integrating power sources

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed an innovative window insulation that could greatly boost building energy efficiency worldwide, functioning like an advanced form of Bubble Wrap. Transparent, Durable Insulation for Windows Called Mesoporous Optically Clear Heat Insulator (MOCHI), the material can be manufactured as either thick panels or thin films that adhere

Robots are increasingly present in daily life, from medical settings to helping at home. However, for people to fully trust and work with them, robots must do more than perform tasks—they must understand humans. This challenge is central to new research led by Dr. Mehdi Hellou through PRIMI, a project focused on helping robots develop
Aerospace technology is showing potential in helping people with ataxia, a movement disorder that affects balance. Researchers led by Bram Sterke from multiple Dutch universities found that a robotic backpack device allows individuals with ataxia to stand and walk more steadily, reducing the need for mobility aids like walkers. The backpack, called Gyropack, uses gyroscopic
