This shows the researcher holding the robot.
Researchers have developed the smallest walking robots, measuring just 2 to 5 microns, capable of interacting with visible light for imaging and force measurement. These magnetically controlled robots can inch forward or swim through fluids while serving as diffraction elements, enabling super-resolution microscopy at scales previously unattainable.

Researchers have identified the lateral hypothalamus (LH) as a key brain region for walking recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, demonstrating that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can significantly enhance mobility and autonomy. Unlike traditional DBS applications, targeting the LH promotes long-term neurological improvements, even when stimulation is off. A clinical trial showed dramatic outcomes in participants, with restored walking ability and improved daily independence.

A new study demonstrates that a wearable Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device can significantly reduce pain, fatigue, and mobility issues in people with long COVID. Participants using the active TENS device reported 26.1% greater pain relief and improved walking performance compared to a placebo group after four weeks of daily use.
This shows a mouse brain.
Researchers have developed TRISCO, a cutting-edge microscopy method that enables 3D RNA analysis in whole, intact mouse brains without slicing them into sections. TRISCO reveals RNA molecules’ spatial distribution, providing unprecedented insights into the brain’s complex structure and function.
