Today on newsstands – and in the homes of 1.3+ million subscribers – Mark Stark’s Prosthetic Hand graces the cover of Popular Science. Not only is it a true stand out on the cover, but Mark’s innovation leads the annual coverage of the “2011 Inventions of the Year.”
Back in February, a PopSci editor asked our team if we had exceptional innovations that met three prerequisites: featured a technological innovation, would impact lives and hasn’t hit the market yet. Mark Stark and his “Natural Dexterous Hand” immediately came to mind.
Mark has been a true sport throughout his first media whirlwind of phone interviews and photographers – and I’m sure it won’t be his last.
From all us at Edison Nation, congratulations Mark!

A minor modification to Mark Stark’s mechanical hand, the same principal except with between existing finger mechanism’s instead of artifical fingers, would be a tremendous help for some 10,000 new quadraplegic’s per year in the US and Canada who still have hands and fingers but need a an affordable, low tech mechanical devise similar to this to use them. How about it Mark?
