In a First, a Prosthetic Limb Can Sense Temperature Like a Living Hand

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Nah you're good, sabolich was recently sold to Hanger orthotics and prosthetics. You probably visited when John Sabolich was still running it, and actually still doing research. His son Scott took it over and just made it a cash cow.
But yeah, lots of these types of articles that make claims to "the first to" are only pedantically correct. It's usually just doing the same as someone else attempted 15 years ago, but this time with a fantasy new surgery that automatically predicates it from being meaningfully utilized anywhere.
Looks like this is similar to what you saw at sabolich years ago, but paired with nerve reintegration. Pretty sure orthotics and prosthetics is simultaneously one of the most over hyped and least understood topics covered by "scientific journalism". Every article Ive read about my field on social media has been comically inaccurate.
