Cathy Hutchinson has been unable to move her own arms or legs for 15 years. But using the most advanced brain-machine interface ever developed, she can steer a robotic arm towards a bottle, pick it up, and drink her morning coffee. The interface includes a sensor implanted in Cathy's brain, which 'reads' her thoughts, and a decoder, which turns her thoughts into instructions for the robotic arm. In this video, watch Cathy control the arm and hear from the team behind the pioneering study.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University say fixing scratches on cars and furniture may be cheap and easy to do yourself in the not-too-distant future. Together with partners in the USA and Switzerland, they have developed a polymer-based material that can heal itself when placed under ultraviolet light for less than a minute.

Get REAL is a university student-driven initiative aimed at eliminating homophobia in creative and dynamic ways. It is open to any and all who wish to stand up and speak out against discrimination. We started in February of 2011 with the aim of running workshops in junior high and high schools, led by university students; this remains our long-term goal. We currently run awareness and advocacy campaigns at Western, as well as wider-reaching initiatives, like this video. Please share.

If you want to find out more, how to get involved, or even how to bring Get REAL to your university campus, visit us here:

Many professors and students from the University of Victoria in Canada collaborated in this wonderful lip sink production with one film camera and very few edit points throughout the music video.

Buildings are a big environmental headache. They account for nearly half of the world's climate changing emissions. But things may be different in the years ahead, as VOA's Rosanne Skirble discovered in a laboratory on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

A team of engineering students at Utah State University has designed what could be the next hi-tech device for Special Forces military. The whole idea was to find a way for soldiers to climb any wall without rope or hooks. What these engineering students made is a climbing suit unlike anything you've ever seen.

Robert Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, discusses his research on a new, immunotherapeutic approach to treating pancreatic cancer. Dr. Vonderheide is an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Abramson Cancer Center physicians Gregory Beatty, MD, PhD, and Peter O'Dwyer, MD, were also involved the study.

When we think about the future, we think about the things that arent possible at the moment. Wannahaves made a list of the top 3 inventions for the future.A Nokia morph phone, a way to see the world from your lazy chair with Google earth 2020 edition and an alternative for oil. The future is closer than you think.

The major goal at the Department of Cell Biology at Duke University Medical Center is to understand how cells build and regenerate tissue. Scientists work in close collaboration with physicians to combine the power of genetics in model organisms such as the mouse and zebrafish with cutting edge imaging and microscopy. The department watches cells as they make organs like the heart, brain and lungs, and follow the behavior of stem cells in these tissues as they heal damage caused by injury or infection. Translating these discoveries to humans would make huge strides in heart and lung disease.
