Credit: X. Ren/Y. Morimoto/S. Takeuchi/Science Robotics/Cover Images Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic hand eerily reminiscent of The Terminator, using lab-grown human muscle tissue to ...

Split hand syndrome is a potential sign of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This means that some of the muscles in the hand are weak and thin (atrophied), while others are less affected.

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...
