Senolytics, a new class of drugs that counter, or reverse, age-related health conditions, is a field of medical science swiftly gaining momentum. The latest, which uses molecular auto-assembly to destroy problematic senescent cells, shows great promise.

While there are a number of optical systems that provide robotic hands with a sense of touch, most of those systems are flat, so they're confined to the fingertips. A new MIT system, however, works along the entire length of each finger.

Evolution is a very slow process, due largely to the fact that nature doesn't "know" in advance which features of an animal will be beneficial. A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it to design robots within a matter of seconds.

For the first time, scientists have combined six primary skin cell types with hydrogels to ‘print’ a thick, multilayered skin that, when transplanted, successfully integrated with surrounding tissue to heal wounds more rapidly and with less scarring.

In a huge moment for the company – and the electric VTOL industry at large – Joby Aviation has officially started manned flight testing of its S4 eVTOL air taxi. Announcing the milestone with a video, Joby leads team USA in the race to certification.

People suffering from dementia not only get confused, they can also become highly anxious and even aggressive. In order to catch such behaviors before they escalate out of control, a British scientist has developed a pair of sensor-packin' socks.

Portable LPG fire pits are a great way to get the ambiance of a campfire when you can't burn wood, but they can come up short in heat. Howl Campfires looks to solve the problem with a portable pit that spits out a wood fire's worth of radiant heat.

The high-end bicycle brand founded by Greg LeMond announced it was focusing on ebikes back in 2020, launching the carbon-framed Dutch and Prolog models. Now the company has revealed an all-terrain version of the latter, which weighs in at just 28 lb.

Honda has announced a 210-km electrified version of its cute-but-capable gas-powered N-Van, as part of the company's mission to sell only electric vehicles in Japan by 2030.

Inspired by a water-dwelling spider, researchers have created a novel surface material that stays dry for months underwater. They say the surface is easy to produce, scalable, and has a wide range of practical applications.

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer, and has the potential to provide individualized repairs to brain injuries.

Currently, almost all powered prosthetic hands utilize electrodes that detect the user's muscle impulses and convert them into hand movements. A new system which is in development, however, should reportedly work better by utilizing ultrasound.
