Most haptic devices only deliver feedback as simple vibrations. New device applies dynamic forces in any direction to simulate a more realistic sense of touch. Small, lightweight device can enhance virtual reality, help individuals with visual impairments, provide tactile feedback for remote health visits and more.

In a new study, researchers from Karolinska Institutet have shown that so-called interval cancers, which are detected between two screening sessions, account for a significant proportion of breast cancer cases and that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of developing this type of cancer. The study was published in the journal JAMA Oncology.

In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers have developed a hybrid keratin and liquid metal hydrogel. This innovative material shows promise in creating wearable electronics for monitoring the health of marine inhabitants, addressing limitations of traditional hydrogels in mechanical and conductive properties.
