The problem is, most exoskeletons are rigid, limiting their degrees of freedom to less than those of the body part they're moving. A team of scientists are looking at changing that, with a partial "soft exoskeleton" that replicates the body's own muscles, tendons and ligaments. <a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/soft-exoskeleton-ankle-rehabilitation/30542/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <!-- FM Content Well Zone Zone --> <!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> --> <div class="summary_item " data-article="30524"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/robotics/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">ROBOTICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/heart-cell-flagella--sperm-bio-bots/30524/">Tiny aquatic bio-bots swim like sperm and are powered by heart cells</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">January 20, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/heart-cell-flagella--sperm-bio-bots/30524/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122085640im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bio-bots.jpg" title="A diagram and a microscope image (inset) of one of the bio-bots " alt="A diagram and a microscope image (inset) of one of the bio-bots "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> If you were asked to think of something microscopic that moves quickly, chances are that sperm would be the first thing to come to mind.

Unfortunately, both sutures and staples can damage the heart tissue, plus it takes too long to apply sutures. Existing surgical adhesives have their own drawbacks in that they can be toxic, and they typically become unstuck in wet, dynamic environments such as the heart. As a result, infants often require subsequent operations to "replug" the hole. Now, however, scientists have developed a sort of superglue for the heart, that quickly and securely bonds patches to holes. <a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/heart-hole-glue-hlaa/30414/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="30224"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/science/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">SCIENCE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/plant-based-magnetic-microswimmers-deliver-drugs/30224/">Plant-based magnetic microswimmers to deliver drugs more precisely</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/author/lakshmi-sandhana/">Lakshmi Sandhana</a></div> <div class="date">December 23, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/plant-based-magnetic-microswimmers-deliver-drugs/30224/pictures">2 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/plant-based-magnetic-microswimmers-deliver-drugs/30224/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122085640im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/microswimmers-2.jpg" title="Bioinspired magnetically propelled helical microswimmers could deliver drugs at the right ..." alt="Bioinspired magnetically propelled helical microswimmers could deliver drugs at the right ..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> If you remember the 1966 science fiction film <em>Fantastic Voyage</em>, you'll recall how miniaturized government agents traveled through blood vessels in a tiny submarine, in their attempt remove a blood clot from a scientist's brain.

The secret lies in the structure of their peel. Scientists have copied that structure, to produce a new type of aluminum composite that's stronger than straight aluminum. <a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/pomelo-fruit-aluminum-hybrid/30018/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="29928"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/robotics/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">ROBOTICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/u-cat-sea-turtle-robot/29928/">U-CAT robotic sea turtle set to explore shipwrecks</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">November 26, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/u-cat-sea-turtle-robot/29928/#comments">6 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/u-cat-sea-turtle-robot/29928/pictures">5 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140122085640/http://www.gizmag.com/u-cat-sea-turtle-robot/29928/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140122085640im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/u-cat.jpg" title="Tallinn University of Technology researchers Asko Ristolainen and Taavi Salumäe watch the ..." alt="Tallinn University of Technology researchers Asko Ristolainen and Taavi Salumäe watch the ..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> When was the last time you heard about a sea turtle getting stuck in a shipwreck? Never, that's when. Although that's partly because stuck turtles rarely make the news, it's also due to the fact that they're relatively small and highly maneuverable.
