A Robotic Hand Employs Touch, Rather Than Vision, to Manipulate and Rotate Objects

Applied Science, Robotics, Science /

Scientists at the California’s University San Diego have developed a novel approach, inspired by human dexterity, to enable a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, eliminating the need for visual input. The team equipped a four-fingered robotic hand with 16 touch sensors on its palm and fingers. These low-cost, low-resolution touch sensors, each […]

Preserving Dignity: American Association for Anatomy Takes a Stand Against Exploitation of Human Body Donors

Anatomy, Applied Science, Science /

The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) strongly opposes the buying and selling of body parts from Harvard Medical School’s body donation program. We think it’s wrong to treat human body donors like products to make money. We feel for the families who have been affected by this situation. Everyone deserves respect and dignity, even after

The Drops That Could Save Your Life

Applied Science, Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

At present, the timely administration of treatment within a few hours of experiencing a stroke is critical for favorable recovery outcomes. However, in the future, this may change with the introduction of newly developed nasal drops, which offer the possibility of improved chances of recovery even if immediate medical intervention is not available. The nasal
