A 3-second grip strength test might predict how well you'll age. Weaker grip strength has been linked to higher risks of heart disease, cognitive decline, certain cancers, and early death. To test and ...

A simple hand-grip test may be a reliable way to monitor possible declines in people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. University of British Columbia researchers Jenn Jakobi and Gareth Jones just ...

(Nanowerk News) Most robotic gripping mechanisms to date have relied on humanlike fingers or appendages, which sometimes struggle to provide the fine touch, flexibility or cost-effectiveness needed in ...
