Neurotech startup Paradromics on Monday announced it has implanted its brain-computer interface in a human for the first time. The procedure took place May 14 at the University of Michigan with a patient who was already undergoing neurosurgery to treat epilepsy. The company's technology was implanted and removed from the patient's brain in about 20 minutes during that surgery. Paradromics said the procedure demonstrated that its system can be safely implanted and record neural activity. It's a

Brain-computer interface startup Paradromics today announced that surgeons successfully inserted the company’s brain implant into a patient and safely removed it after about 10 minutes. It’s a step toward longer trials of the device, dubbed Connexus. It’s also the latest commercial development in a growing field of companies—including Elon Musk’s Neuralink—aiming to connect people’s brains directly to computers. With the Connexus, Austin-based Paradromics is looking to restore speech and commu

The distinctive chirps of singing cicadas are a highlight of summer in regions where they proliferate; those chirps even featured prominently on Lorde's 2021 album Solar Power. Now, Japanese scientists at the University of Tsukuba have figured out how to transform cicadas into cyborg insects capable of "playing" Pachelbel's Canon. They described their work in a preprint published on the physics arXiv. You can listen to the sounds here. Scientists have been intrigued by the potential of cyborg i

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Scientists at King's College London say they've successfully grown a human tooth in a lab for the first time. As detailed in a paper published in the journal ACS Macro Letters, the team said it uncovered a potential way to regrow teeth in humans as a natural alternative to conventional dental fillings and implants, research they say could "revolutionize dental care." The researchers claim they've developed a new type of material that enables cells to com

A contraceptive implant is a thin and flexible rod that sits under the skin and releases contraceptive drugs into the body for years. While it’s one of the most effective forms of contraceptives and avoids the inconvenience of having to take a pill every day, the implant requires minor surgery, which can limit accessibility. To make life a bit easier, researchers are creating a self-assembling contraceptive implant the components of which women could self-administer with a single injection. A t

An Australian man has become a medical marvel thanks to his groundbreaking artificial heart. The man’s doctors reported this week that he was the first person in the world to be discharged from the hospital with an implant developed to completely replace the heart’s functioning. Doctors at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney performed the experimental procedure last November, installing the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart into a man suffering from severe heart failure. Though the man wasn’t the firs

An Australian man with heart failure has become the first person in the world to walk out of a hospital with a total artificial heart implant. The Australian researchers and doctors behind the operation announced on Wednesday that the implant had been an “unmitigated clinical success” after the man lived with the device for more than 100 days before receiving a donor heart transplant in early March. The BiVACOR total artificial heart, invented by Queensland-born Dr Daniel Timms, is the world’s

Image by Joanne Ho-Young Lee / MediaNews Group / The Mercury News via Getty Devices Government bogeyman Elon Musk has been accused by his number-one nemesis, "212" rapper Azealia Banks, of having a "botched penis implant" — a funny-sounding but extremely real and dangerous complication that can occur when people try to surgically make their dicks bigger. This whole debacle began when Banks was, as she is wont to do, hating on Musk in a deeply personal way. Responding to news that the billionai
