Cheaper and simpler keyhole surgery

...op simple mechanical alternatives to these complex robotic systems, and also to test them. Jaspers is a doctoral student at the department of Mechanical Engineering of Delft University of Technology, but the greater part of his work is conducted at the Academic Medical Centre (AMC) in Amsterdam, where in rec...

For one Stanford doctor, the beat goes on during open-heart surgery

... less-invasive surgeries such as beating-heart and robotic heart surgery. "We need to make it available to our patients." Currently, most heart surgeons use the more conventional method of putting a patient on a heart-lung machine, aka "the pump," for bypass surgeries. The pump lets the surgeon stop the hea...

Bees solve complex colour puzzles

...nces, may one day lead to the design of autonomous robotic systems. In the UCL study, scientists from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology trained bumblebees to find artificial flowers of a particular colour using a nectar reward. They then tested the bees' ability to find the same flowers in scenes that were...
