Smart electrode, new chemical bond, AI for the eyes 👀

The world’s first 3D neural electrode that wraps around nerves without damage. Neural electrodes help patients regain movement and alleviate pain and is expected to be used in next-generation bioelectronic devices.

Cuff-shaped

“Rhinoceros beetle” robot

Engineers have designed the first tiny, light, cordless robot that can act independently with ultra-high precision in extreme conditions.

Halting the thief of sight

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. This AI for the eyes quick screening tool can run on mobile, at public places and remote regions to catch the “silent thief of sight” before it causes irreversible damage.

Sight thief

Together at last

Small molecules arranged around transition metal atoms affect how the metal atoms behave. Now, researchers have reported a never-before-reported chemical bond which has implications for new polymers and pharmaceuticals.

Ligands

Lighting hardy plants

Researchers discovered how light stabilizes stress-response in plants, offering insights into engineering climate-resilient crops.
