ARES is swallowed in parts and assembles inside the body (ARES Project)
How would you feel about having robots crawling around inside of you? Get used to the idea, because Italian scientists have developed a concept robot called ARES, which would assemble inside the human body.
Patients would have to ingest a liquid in order to inflate the stomach and then swallow up to 15 parts which would magnetically assemble once inside the stomach.
The human brain is one of the most fascinating organs in our bodies and also one of the most complex. Thankfully, engineers are devising remarkable new ways to manipulate our neural circuitry, with applications ranging from controlling prosthetic limbs and giving voice to the paralyzed to treating depression and traumatic brain injuries. Here’s an exciting recent development in the field of neuroengineering:
Woolly mammoths have been extinct for over 10,000 years. But given the latest genetic sequencing efforts, scientists and engineers may be closer to resurrecting the ancient beast.
The starting point is blood. Researchers from the University of Manitoba have successfully reconstructed the hemoglobin of these ancient, massive creatures, and determined that their circulatory systems helped them survive in extremely cold conditions.
