Mycoplasma pneumoniae with pathogenic genes replaced by biofilm-degrading ones enhance survival in a mouse model of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Researchers say structures made of the cells could potentially be used to clean up uranium from oceans, heal wounds, and more.

The mobility device interprets its paralyzed user’s thoughts to steer through cluttered spaces, a study reports.

In just a few months, researchers have constructed low-cost ventilators that can keep sedated pigs alive. Getting them to work safely and reliably in people is the next challenge.

Researchers and clinicians make small muscle grafts into the arms of amputees to amplify the signals from their peripheral nerves, which then direct the movement of a robotic hand.

Two new commentaries on a contested 2018 study about gender disparities in STEM fields clash over whether sex differences or social inequalities are to blame for the lack of women scientists and engineers.

This fish-inspired robot swims at greater speeds than previous ones.

The developers envision their device could be used to collect water samples in hazardous environments.

See a tiny, jellyfish-like robot swim, burrow, and carry beads.

Developers made an insect-like robot with two pairs of wings.

The robotic catheter can guide its own movements within the heart of a live mammal to the site of a leaky valve replacement.

Scientists are taking a close look at fish skeletons for inspiration to solve engineering problems. 

Scientists take a close look at metal alloys that form snowflake-like structures called crystalline dendrites.
