The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Procter & Gamble has filed a patent for a pH sensing probe that includes a sensor body, a pH glass electrode, a reference electrode, and a backup pH electrode. The backup electrode can be ...

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 ...
