Researchers create worlds first 3D-printed bionic organ
2013-05-02 20:01:31| Extremetech
A group of researchers at Princeton and Johns Hopkins have combined biology and electronics to create the first 3D printed organ -- a bionic ear. While this is more of a technology demonstration, 3D printing continues to astound, showing that artificial organs of the future need not be limited to just biological tissues.

Control your bionic hand with an iPhone
2013-04-15 21:02:34| Extremetech
The human hand is incredibly complex, so designing a bionic replacement is quite a challenge. There are countless movements and grips that a normal hand needs to make, and that variety is what makes replacements so difficult. Now, a company called Touch Bionics has developed a bionic hand with four fingers and a rotatable thumb. Better yet, a simple companion app is available for iOS that allows fast selection of 24 preset grips.

The first real, high-resolution, user-configurable bionic eye
2013-02-22 17:29:13| Extremetech
Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Alpha IMS retinal prosthesis; a device that completely redefines the state of the art of implanted, bionic devices. The first round of clinical trials were a huge success, with eight out of nine patients reporting that they can now detect mouth shapes (smiles, frowns), small objects such as telephones and cutlery, signs on doors, and -- most importantly -- whether a glass of wine is red or white.

This week, a team of Swiss researchers announced that it will begin testing a new "sensing" bionic hand, one which looks to explode our ideas about the relationship between brain and machine. Now, it is the robots' turn to speak.
