An adhesive and stretchable epicardial patch to precisely monitor the heart’s activity
Epicardial patches are carefully engineered tissue patches that can be placed near or on a patient's heart. These devices can help doctors to diagnose and treat a variety of heart conditions,...
Phosphazene-based electrolytes for high-voltage lithium batteries that work in extreme environments
Lithium metal batteries have numerous notable advantages over other existing battery systems, including high energy density. Nonetheless, the use of most existing high-energy lithium metal batteries...
Organic LED and CMOS-based optogenetic stimulation probes with single-neuron resolution
Optogenetics are advanced research tools that allow scientists to precisely control the activity of brain cells using light. Over the past few years, optogenetic techniques have become increasingly...
Study shows that perception is driven by variability of neural activity in the sensory cortex
The brain is a sophisticated biological system known to produce different experiences and perceptions via complex dynamics. Different brain regions and neural populations commonly work in tandem,...
A reinforcement learning-based method to plan the coverage path and recharging of unmanned aerial vehicles
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have already proved invaluable for tackling a wide range of real-world problems. For instance, they can assist humans with deliveries,...
The brain gets its own broadband: Electro-quasistatic fields enable broadband communication for brain implants
In recent years, engineers have been working to develop increasingly sophisticated devices that can help humans to interact better with computers. These technologies, including brain-machine...
Theoretical study shows that Kerr black holes could amplify new physics
Black holes are regions in space characterized by extremely strong gravity, which prevents all matter and electromagnetic waves from escaping it. These fascinating cosmic bodies have been the focus...
Study unveils a neural mechanism involved in terminating decisions
During decision-making, the human brain essentially accumulates useful information and weighs options until it has enough evidence to choose. Past studies showed that choice-relevant evidence is...
New method to recycle materials inside lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which store energy leveraging the reversible reduction of lithium ions, power most devices and electronics on the market today. Due to their wide range of operating...
A model probing the connection between entangled particles and wormholes in general relativity
Quantum entanglement is a physical process through which pairs of particles become connected and remain so even when separated by vast distances. This fascinating phenomenon has been the focus of...
