Harmonizing Recovery: Robotic Glove Helps Stroke Survivors Relearn Music

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, media & arts, robotics/AI

Summary: A ‘smart hand exoskeleton’, a custom-made robotic glove, can aid stroke patients in relearning dexterity-based skills like playing music. The glove, equipped with integrated tactile sensors, soft actuators, and artificial intelligence, can mimic natural hand movements and provide tactile sensations.

By applying machine learning, the glove can distinguish between correct and incorrect piano play, potentially offering a novel tool for personalized rehabilitation. Although the current design focuses on music, the technology holds promise for a broader range of rehabilitation tasks.

Engineers develop first-of-its-kind integrated optical isolator

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

An optical isolator developed at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) could drastically improve optical systems for many practical applications.

All —used for telecommunications, microscopy, imaging, quantum photonics, and more—rely on a laser to generate photons and . To prevent those lasers from damage and instability, these systems also require isolators, components that prevent light from traveling in undesired directions. Isolators also help cut down on signal noise by preventing light from bouncing around unfettered. But conventional isolators have been relatively bulky in size and require more than one type of material to be joined together, creating a roadblock to achieving enhanced performance.

Now, a team of researchers led by electrical engineer Marko Lončar at SEAS has developed a method for building a highly-efficient integrated isolator that’s seamlessly incorporated into an made of lithium niobate. Their findings are reported in Nature Photonics.

Fanzor: First CRISPR-Like System Found in Eukaryotes

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Another potentially game-changing discovery has come out of the lab of Feng Zhang, PhD. This time, they uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes. Just a few months ago, the Zhang lab adapted a contractile injection system, found naturally in bacteria, that deliver protein payloads to target human cells.

In this recent work, Zhang’s team describes how the system—based on the Fanzor protein—uses RNA as a guide to target DNA precisely, and that Fanzor can be reprogrammed to edit the genome of human cells. Additionally, the compact Fanzor systems have the potential to be more easily delivered to cells and tissues as therapeutics than CRISPR/Cas systems, and further refinements to improve their targeting efficiency could make them a valuable new technology for human genome editing.

The research is published in Nature, in the paper, “Fanzor is a eukaryotic programmable RNA-guided endonuclease.

Magical Material That Blocks Microwaves and Infrared Heat Also Shifts from Transparent to Translucent

Posted by in categories: energy, materials

A seemingly magical material can block microwaves, infrared (IR) heat, and light and then magically shift to a transparent state that also allows IR and microwaves to pass through simply by being stretched or contracted.

Inspired by the properties of squid skin, which can shift from translucent to opaque due to the presence of iridocytes and chromatophores, the new material could help create stealth materials, safeguard electronic devices, dramatically improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings, and even protect against microwave weapons.

No One Has Accomplished All of These Feats in One Material .
