#3 Avatar Technology Digest / Bionic hand, BioMicroRobot, 3D-printed bionic ants etc.

Welcome to #3 Avatar Technology Digest. And here are the top stories of the last week. As always we start our Digest with incredible news on Technology, Medical Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence. 1) Japanese company have created a 3D printed myoelectric hand called “Handii” which is more functional than prosthetic hands from a decade ago. 2) Researchers at the University of Montreal state that magnetic nanoparticles can open the blood-brain barrier and deliver molecules directly to the brain. 3) Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have created a nanoscale biomicrorobot that responds electrically to changes in its environment. The creation is called NERD. 4) Artificial hand is now able to respond sensitively thanks to muscles made from smart metal wires.
