    AI Performs Brain Surgery on Mice for Epilepsy Treatment

    Exin Therapeutics, a biotech startup, claims to have successfully used an AI agent to perform brain surgery on a mouse to treat epilepsy. The AI selected gene therapy vectors, dosages, and brain regions using an electronic spreadsheet, three research papers, and a camera-equipped robotic arm. The AI injected 250 nanoliters of medication while monitoring for bleeding. Human oversight and safety protocols, including an emergency stop button, were in place. The AI was limited to the injection phase, with craniotomy and suturing performed by human surgeons. The team initially attempted to use Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model, which refused the task due to concerns about incomplete execution.

    A Gradient Grid Structure Enables a Flexible Tactile Sensor to Overcome the 'Impossible Triangle' in Touch Sensing

    A team from the University of Science and Technology of China, in collaboration with several international universities, has developed a flexible tactile sensor called GriFIPS that addresses the 'impossible triangle' challenge in touch sensing. The sensor uses a gradient grid structure and a liquid metal composite electrode to achieve high sensitivity, wide linear range, and stable performance. It is capable of detecting pressures from 2.1 Pa to 360 kPa, covering the full range of human touch perception. The sensor is integrated into a dexterous robotic hand for tasks such as object recognition, texture classification, and force sensing, demonstrating its potential for real-world applications.
