Prosthetics

An ISS experiment suggests that manufacturing artificial retinas in space will make them more effective at reversing blindness.

Advanced neuroprosthetics are here, and they could hook our brains into the Internet of Things.

A robotic finger can feel like a part of our hand after just a short time using it, suggesting that our brains can "own" extra body parts.

After creating a bionic hand for himself, Peruvian engineer Enzo Romero launched a company to sell the low-cost prosthetics to others.

U.K. researchers have developed a 3D-printed prosthetic eye that’s more realistic and easier to produce than traditional ones.

MIT has established a new bionics research center to help people everywhere overcome the challenges of disabilities.

A new bionic arm is so intuitive, wearers think and behave like people without amputations while using it to perform everyday tasks.

MIT and Brown researchers have developed a technique using implanted magnetic beads that they hope will lead to better control of prosthetic limbs.

MIT researchers have created a soft, inflatable prosthetic hand that provides advanced abilities at a fraction of the cost and weight.

Bionic arms used to cost $80,000. Now, a young engineer has lowered the cost by over 90%.
