Open-source Bionic Leg
A new open-source, artificially intelligent prosthetic leg designed by researchers at U-M and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, and supported by NSF, is now available to the scientific community.
The leg’s free-to-copy design and programming are intended to improve the quality of life of patients and accelerate scientific advances by offering a unified platform to fragmented research efforts across the field of bionics.
Precision Medicine
A new 3D structure for growing cell cultures could enable doctors to test medications on model tumors grown from a patient’s own cells, according to results from a team of U-M engineers and cancer researchers.
Unlike previous devices, the new structure, developed with support from NSF, is made from protein fibers that cells know how to modify. Scientists can potentially use the cultures to do things like drug testing or single cell analysis, which may help identify the best treatments for a patient’s cancer.
Ice-proof Coating
A new class of coatings that sheds ice effortlessly from even large surfaces has moved researchers closer to their decades-long goal of ice-proofing cargo ships, airplanes, power lines and other large structures.
The spray-on coatings, developed at U-M with support from NSF, cause ice to fall away from structures — regardless of their size — with just the force of a light breeze, or often the weight of the ice itself.
