Perhaps you sleep on a memory foam mattress. Well, in the future, a similar material could be used to create artificial body parts. Researchers at Cornell University recently used their new "elastomer ...

Cornell University researchers have made a robotic heart out of solid, porous plastic foam. It pumps and has two chambers instead of four. It could offer a model for future artificial hearts. The foam ...

A heart of foam could replace your own. Researchers inspired by soft robots have built a pumping artificial heart that could one day replace the real deal. Recent years have seen the development of ...

Engineers at Cornell University have created a cardiovascular device out of synthetic, porous material that is, more or less, the memory foam of artificial hearts. According to a paper published by ...

It’s not exactly a secret that organ donors are scarce, but the fact remains that there are numerous people out there that are in dire need of a new organ in order to survive. In order to solve this ...
