    Beyond Human: The Cyborg Revolution

    Uploaded on May 27, 2008

    Part 1 of 9. Over the centuries, scientists speculated that we could tap into the body's electrical system to restore lost functions or enhance our powers, like machines.

    Is Extreme Body Modification Worth It?

    Published on Jun 10, 2015

    Would you modify your own body to get super-human abilities? Self-proclaimed "biohackers" are doing just that-- by injecting and implanting things into themselves, they bioengineer new abilities. But is the pain worth the payoff?
    Kim Horcher and special guest Andy Riesmeyer (Host of Dweebcast) discuss the idea.

    'Smart implants' dissolve after healing - Science Nation

    Published on Jul 13, 2015

    We all know that injuries happen and doctors sometimes have to use metal screws or plates to support broken bones while the bones heal. What if that implanted metal just disintegrated on its own after the injury heals?

    A team at the NSF Engineering Research Center for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is working to transform current medical and surgical treatments by creating "smart" implants. The major goal is to revolutionize metallic biomaterials to improve treatments for orthopedic, craniofacial, neural and cardiovascular ailments.

    The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Research Centers are interdisciplinary, multi-institutional centers that join academia, industry and government in partnership to produce transformational engineered systems, along with engineering graduates who are highly skilled at innovation and primed for leadership in the global economy.

    The research is this episode was supported by NSF award #0812348, NSF Engineering Research Center for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials.

    TR10: Implantable Electronics

    Uploaded on Apr 29, 2010

    One of this years TR10 innovators, Fiorenzo Omenetto, is developing implants made from silicon and sheets of silk, which dissolve away when no longer needed. We asked Omenetto about why he developed the technology, and the new types of implantable devices it will enable.

    Will you be Iron Man?

    Published on Jul 8, 2013

    We have the technology! We can rebuild...ourselves!

    Human interface technologies like Google Glass, robotic prosthetics, and bionic eyes have the potential to help people recover lost abilities, but also to grant us new abilities. Will you someday be able to turn on your super-human hearing just by thinking about it? Maybe...if you live long enough. The question of whether we /should/ well, we'll leave that to the philosophers. This is SciShow!
