Trending: Harvard's soft exosuit, a wearable robot, lowered energy expenditure in healthy people walking with a load on their back by almost 23% compared to walking with the exosuit powered-off. Such a wearable robot has potential to help soldiers and workers, as well as patients with disabilities.

NanoscienceA new way to control a powerful but finicky process called the polymerase chain reaction raises the possibility of a “DNA photocopier” small enough to hold in your hand. Such a device could identify the bacteria or virus causing an infection even before the symptoms appear.

NanoscienceIn a microscopic feat that resembled a high-wire circus act, researchers have coaxed DNA nanotubes to assemble themselves into bridge-like structures arched between two molecular landmarks on the surface of a lab dish. This may someday be used to connect electronic medical devices to living cells.

NanoscienceScientists create tiny biobot for implant under the skin to deliver doses of drugs. The 3D-printed bot has no batteries or wires, but is activated through an external magnet. It’s only been tested in mice for now, but it could one day be used to deliver localized doses of chemo to treat tumors.
