A new study at the University of Sydney has showcased promising results for a new bionic eye. A team of biomedical students at the university developed the device. After three months of studying the ...

Researchers have engineered a bionic arm for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and function like a person without an amputation, according to new findings. The ...

A team of scientists from the United States and Hong Kong has built a "bionic eye' that mimics a human eye in shape and function. The eye, currently in its prototype stage, could one day be used as a ...

Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research. By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, scientists created a hybrid capable of churning out molecules at a rate comparable to ...

Researchers look to create a bionic eye that can restore people’s sight. Vision loss affects millions of Americans. But University of Oregon researchers are looking to create an electronic solution- a ...

The world’s only bionic eyes -- implants that can bring sight to the blind -- keep getting better. Created by Second Sight Medical Products and recently approved by the FDA, the Argus II Retinal ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

The human fingertip is an exquisitely sensitive instrument for perceiving objects in our environment via the sense of touch. A team of Chinese scientists has mimicked the underlying perceptual ...

With the first thought-controlled bionic leg pioneered in Chicago, the next steps for smart prosthetics are refining them for widespread use and tackling a huge hurdle: sensory feedback. Nick Statt ...

Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston University have made major progress on a bionic pancreas for those living with diabetes. On Sunday at the American Diabetes Association, ...
