At least partial function of a human limb is restored by surgically removing at least a portion of an injured or diseased human limb from a surgical site of an individual and transplanting a selected muscle into the remaining biological body of the individual, followed by contacting the transplanted selected muscle, or an associated nerve, with an electrode, to thereby control a device, such as a prosthetic limb, linked to the electrode. Simulating proprioceptive sensory feedback from a device includes mechanically linking at least one pair of agonist and antagonist muscles, wherein a nerve innervates each muscle, and supporting each pair with a support, whereby contraction of the agonist muscle of each pair will cause extension of the paired antagonist muscle. An electrode is implanted in a muscle of each pair and electrically connected to a motor controller of the device, thereby simulating proprioceptive sensory feedback from the device.

A near-infrared light emitting device can include semiconductor nanocrystals that emit at wavelengths beyond 1 &#x3bc;m. The semiconductor nanocrystals can include a core and an overcoating on a surface of the core.

Near-infrared light emitting device using semiconductor nanocrystals

A method of depositing semiconductor nanocrystals on a surface can include applying a voltage to the nanocrystals.
