Researchers behind a robotic hand designed by the University of Pisa’s “E. Piaggio” research centre in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia want to revolutionise the way we think about artificial limbs. Simple and robust in structure, and cheaper than previous technologies, the new ‘Softhand’ is capable of reproducing almost all natural hand movements

The FP7 funded project, TRIMAGE, aims at developing a simultaneous trimodal imaging tool for early diagnosis of schizophrenia and other mental disorders

The study carried out by a team of international researchers has been published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology
