Scientists have created more flexible neural electrodes that minimize tissue damage and still transmit clear brain signals. Electrodes placed in the brain record neural activity, and can help treat ...

Nanofabricated ultraflexible electrode arrays that have a cross-sectional area that is much smaller than conventional carbon fibre electrodes could be used to detect action potentials from individual ...

A team from Korea created extra-flexible neural electrodes, using zinc oxide nanowires, that minimise tissue damage without losing signal fidelity. According to the researchers, from the Daegu ...

“How does the brain work?” is a question as old as the brain itself. The brain is composed of billions of neurons and quadrillions of connections between them. Somewhere in this vast and complex ...

A new analysis probes charge transfer in porous battery electrodes for the first time. The electrochemical reactions inside the porous electrodes of batteries and fuel cells have been described by ...

Electrodes placed in the brain record neural activity, and can help treat neural diseases like Parkinson's and epilepsy. Interest is also growing in developing better brain-machine interfaces, in ...
