Robotic surgeon precisely removes cancerous tumors

The Autonomous System for Tumor Resection, designed by a team of Johns Hopkins researchers, can remove tumors from the tongue with accuracy rivaling—or even potentially exceeding—that of human surgeons.

Diagram of an eye receiving photoacoustic retinal stimulation via an epiretinal implant. Red arrows represent a laser pulse hitting the implant, which generates blue acoustic waves depicted as wavy lines that stimulate the underlying retinal cells.

New nanomaterial for retinal implants could someday help restore sight for millions

Emad Boctor and Seth Billings's approach converts light into sound, activating damaged eye cells.
