Direct nervous system link to make leg prostheses feel more natural A research team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has, for the first time, successfully decoded leg movements directly from the remaining nerves in people with above-k...

🦿 Using novel implantable #neurotechnology and #AI, researchers led by @giacomovalle.bsky.social from 🇸🇪 Chalmers University of Technology found a new way to make future leg #prostheses feel and act more natural.

Raffaella Carloni develops artificial limbs, including the bionic leg, for which she received the Ben Feringa Impact Award 2024. Recently, visitors to the European Researchers’ Night (ERN) had the opportunity to see the bionic leg in action.

‘I am fascinated by #robotics & dream of replicating the remarkable abilities of the human body,’ says Raffaella Carloni, Prof. of Robotics @rug.nl.

She develops artificial limbs & studies how #AI can help to make #prostheses 'smarter'.🦿

Creative Chemistry: An interview with prosthetic & special effects makeup artist Andrea Kozma You have to know everything about these chemicals, including how not to use them, but also about special equipment, like work suits & so on.

From The Witcher to Midsommar, you’ve seen her work. Her job fuses chemistry, sculpture and fine art. And Andrea Kozma wouldn’t have it any other way.

“ #Amputees have been outfitted with a #prosthesis that is integrated with muscle and bone. The new creation allows #patients to walk faster and avoid obstacles better than they could with past #prostheses.”: buff.ly/clBzdED

Front X ray image of a new shoulder comprising titanium & cobalt-chromium alloys, inserted into the bone in my arm. The image also show my ribs and heart as well what I can only consider to be the head of my evil unborn twin, who evolved with a quiff and a penchant for smoking who appears to be looking at the prosthetic, of which his head is the same size, with some interest.

A side view of an X ray of a new shoulder comprising titanium & cobalt-chromium alloys that has been inserted into the bone in my left arm, although it shows on the right here. The image also shows part o my ribs.

Today marks the twelve week anniversary of my shoulder replacement 🎉 so how could I not use the images for #Alphabetchallenge #WeekXforXs?

Nylon stockings under a microscope, 2021. Nylon, a polymer created in 1939, had widespread use, particularly and gradually replaced natural materials like silk, catgut, fur, and leather (Quye 2014: 214).
