Cambridge researchers have developed #robotic nerve ‘cuffs’ that could help treat a range of #neurological conditions: eng.cam.ac.uk/news/robotic-nerve-cuffs-could-help-treat-range-neurological-conditions

A thin-film strip can be seen curling into spirals. When a #voltage is applied, this tiny, flexible device can then wrap around individual nerve fibres without damaging them.
