Listen "Sliputures: How a Simple Knot Makes Surgeons Smarter"
Episode Synopsis
From tying shoelaces to delicate surgery, we constantly judge force—but what if a simple knot could do it for us? Researchers have invented “sliputures,” surgical sutures with pre-programmed slipknots that deliver the perfect force every time. No electronics, no sensors—just pure mechanical intelligence. Novice surgeons can achieve expert precision, robots can get force feedback without new hardware, and patients heal faster with fewer complications. Discover how an ancient knot could revolutionize surgery and inspire a new era of mechano-intelligence.Hashtags:#MechanoIntelligence #SurgeryInnovation #SlipknotScience #MedicalTech #Robotics #SurgicalRobots #Sliputures #HealingFaster #Bioengineering
