As of 2021, 43 million people worldwide are blind, and 295 million have moderate-to-severe visual impairment. Of those 43 million people, an estimated 12.7 million are blind due to their corneas. While more than 80,000 people receive…

University of Tokyo researchers created a controllable robotic finger covered with living skin tissue. It has living cells and supporting organic material grown on top of it, providing shaping and strength. As the skin is soft and can heal…

Bioengineers at UCLA’s Samueli School of Engineering invented a novel soft and flexible self-powered bioelectronic device that converts human body motions into electricity that could be used to power wearable and implantable diagnostic…

Bioengineering, also sometimes referred to as biomedical engineering, is a discipline that combines engineering expertise with medical needs for the enhancement in healthcare. Bioengineering integrates the engineering sciences with…

Robotics researchers look for inspiration not only from the humans with whom they’re designed to interact, but also at other species. Amphibians, with their sticky tongues and stored elastic energy, can catch insects located up to…

With the need for organ transplants increasing steeply, the ability to 3D bioprint functional human organs becomes more and more crucial. Patients on organ transplant lists not only suffer decreased quality of life while awaiting a…
