Oxford University researchers have made a significant step toward realizing a form of "biological electricity" that could be used in a variety of bioengineering and biomedical applications, including communication with living ...
A research group led by Prof. Cai Xinxia from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a novel drug-loaded hydrogel-coated microelectrode array (MEA), which allows for ...
All animals, large or small, have to move at an incredible precision to interact with the world. Understanding how the brain controls movement is a fundamental question in neuroscience. For larger animals, this is challenging ...
Step aside hard, rigid materials. There is a new soft, sustainable electroactive material in town—and it's poised to open new possibilities for medical devices, wearable technology and human-computer interfaces.
After thousands of years as a highly valuable commodity, silk continues to surprise. Now it may help usher in a whole new direction for microelectronics and computing.
Researchers are studying chemical processes in nature to develop new, cleaner means of chemical production and computers that can communicate with the human body.
In a study published22 August in Cell Reports Physical Science, a team led by Dr. Yoshikatsu Hayashi demonstrated that a simple hydrogel—a type of soft, flexible material—can learn to play the simple 1970s computer game "Pong." ...
Researchers at the Center for Nanomedicine within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Yonsei University in South Korea have unveiled a technology that can manipulate specific regions of the brain using magnetic fields, ...
Animal behavior analysis is a fundamental tool in various studies, ranging from basic neuroscience research to understanding the causes and treatments of diseases. It is widely applied not only in biological research but ...
Artificial intelligence software has been developed to rapidly analyze animal behavior so that behaviors can be more precisely linked to the activity of individual brain circuits and neurons, researchers in Seattle report.
