The Mini Fingers.(scientists dveloped a robotic hand one millimeter across)(Brief article)
Byline: Rupali Arora
To operate without too much cutting, surgeons have grown adept at using tiny tools much like tweezers and chopsticks. But these aren't adequate for many complicated procedures. Recently, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, invented a robotic hand one millimeter across that's capable of grabbing flesh. Its four ceramic fingers, arranged in a cross, are joined by plastic balloons; the hand opens when the balloons are deflated. "The hand is unique as ...
