A Man Who’s Been Paralyzed For 4 Years Finally Walks Again With The Help Of A Mind-Controlled Exoskeleton

Spotted: In a major advance, a team from Clinatec and the University of Grenoble, France, have developed an exoskeleton connected to brain sensors that has allowed a paralysed man to walk. The exoskeleton is suspended from an overhead harness. It does not all…

If you can't get enough of tardigrades — those tough, tubby microscopic critters with eight squirmy legs — you'll love this newly discovered microinvertebrate.  Behold, the "mold pig." Discovered by paleobiologist and entomologist George Poinar Jr. of Ore…

An analysis of 30-million-year-old amber has resulted in the discovery of a previously unknown microscopic creature from the Cenozoic period. Bearing a resemblance to tardigrades (aka water bears), these now-extinct mold pigs, as theyve been dubbed, are unlik…

This is a video of a Theraphosa Stirmi (burgundy goliath bird eater tarantula) shedding its exoskeleton over the course of several hours, timelapsed down to only 22 seconds. That's good, because I'm not sure how much more of this I could have stood. I mean, u…

Fossils preserved in Dominican amber reveal a new family, genus and species of microinvertebrate from the mid-Tertiary period, a discovery that shows unique lineages of the tiny creatures were living 30 million years ago.The findings by George Poinar Jr. of t…

A quadriplegic man was able to walk again using an experimental robotic body suit which he controlled with his brain. The exoskeleton was developed by a team of researchers at the University of Grenoble in France, who hope that their proof-of-concept demonstr…
