Flexible nerve cuffs for neurological conditions revolutionize treatment

Summary: Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed flexible nerve cuffs using soft robotics and flexible electronics. These cuffs can wrap around nerve fibers without causing damage, requiring only tiny voltages to change shape. The cuffs could revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions like epilepsy and chronic pain. The devices are minimally invasive and could potentially be used in humans in the near future.
