Magnets offer better control of prosthetic limbs

Researchers in MIT’s Media Lab have now discovered a way of controlling prosthetic limbs in a far more accurate way. After introducing microscopic magnetic perforations in the muscle tissue into the severed residual, the length of the muscle may be precisely measured during contraction and this feedback can be related within milliseconds to the bionic prosthesis. One of the biggest problems for amputators using prosthetic limbs is managing the prosthesis such that the same movements as a normal limb. Most prosthetic extremities are controlled by electromyography, an electrical recording method…

Researchers discovered flexible battery fueled by human sweat

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore)  have created a flexible and stretchy battery that is fueled by human sweat. The prototype battery is made out of printed silver flake electrodes that create energy when wet. The battery, which is 2 cm by 2 cm and is as flat as a little paper bandage, is attached to a flexible and sweat-absorbing cloth that is stretchy and attachable to wearable devices such as watches. The team of scientists tested its gadget with fake human sweat to illustrate its potential application…
