Meet a scientist who’s dedicated decades to solving one of prosthetics’ biggest problems
Prof Joan Sanders of the University of Washington has spent her career working on better prosthetics for lower limb amputees, trying to solve problems that complicate everyday life for people who have lost a limb. She is the first author of a new article in Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, which reports the development of a quick, efficient method for making prosthesis sockets with built-in sensors that monitor the socket’s changing fit in real time — like a shoe that becomes more or less comfortable the more it’s worn. In the future, this could help prosthetists track a patient’s changing needs and adapt the socket to fit better. In this Frontier Scientists Q&A, Sanders tells us about her decades of problem-solving research, and her work building the foundations for a new generation of adjustable, comfortable prosthetics that don’t need constant management by their users.

No cities on the Moon — there isn’t enough water, scientists say
The discovery of water at the poles of the Moon has inspired speculation about whether we can build there – cities, industrial neighborhoods, places where people work and live. But is there enough water, and can we use it efficiently enough? In their new article in Frontiers in Space Technologies, Dr Martin Elvis and Dr Jonathan McDowell do the math. Even at the most generous estimates of the available water and recycling efficiency, a city of one million people would only last 100 years before all the water runs out. In this guest editorial, Elvis breaks down what we can and can’t do with the technology available.
