Realistic Robotic Arm Within Reach
Lightning-fast connections between robotic limbs and the human brain may be within reach for injured soldiers and other amputees with the establishment of a multimillion-dollar research center led by Southern Methodist University (SMU) engineers. Funded by a Department of Defense initiative dedicated to audacious challenges and intense time schedules, the Neurophotonics Research Center will develop two-way fiber optic communication between prosthetic limbs and peripheral nerves.
NASA Opens Space Station for Biological Research from NIH Grants
NASA is enabling biomedical research with National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants that take advantage of the unique microgravity environment aboard the International Space Station to explore fundamental questions about important health issues.
NIH Teams with Pay.gov to Speed Tech Transfer Payments
A new payment site within Pay.gov will make it easier for companies that license inventions owned by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make their royalty payments. Royalties are typically paid upfront for biological materials and over the term of a commercial patent license. The project is led by the Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) and the Office of Financial Management at NIH.
