Researchers design new open-source technology for interfacing with living neurons
From Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 26/01/24 Neurons intricately communicate and respond to stimuli within a vast network, orchestrating essential functions from basic bodily processes to complex thoughts. Traditional neuroscience methods, relying on in vivo electrophysiology (within a living organism), often have difficulty addressing the complexity of the brain as […]
Injectable water filtration system could improve access to clean drinking water around the world
From University of Texas at Austin 27/01/24 More than 2 billion people, approximately a quarter of the world’s population, lack access to clean drinking water. A new, portable and affordable water filtration solution created by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin aims to change that. The new system collects dirty water with a […]
X-ray method enables micron-resolution imaging of living organisms over long time periods
From Optica 23/12/23 Researchers have developed an X-ray imaging technique that can produce detailed images of living organisms with a much lower X-ray dose than previously possible. The advance enables small organisms or other sensitive samples to be studied at high resolution over much longer periods, which could reveal new insights into a variety of […]
