Flexible nanoelectrodes can provide fine-grained brain stimulation

Rice U. engineers’ device is gentle on neurons, could serve as sensory prosthesis. Conventional implantable medical devices designed for brain stimulation are often too rigid and bulky for what is one…

Super low-cost smartphone attachment

… brings blood pressure monitoring to your fingertips. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple, low-cost clip that uses a smartphone’s camera and flash to…

Induction of a torpor-like state with ultrasound

Chen’s team used ultrasound to safely, noninvasively induce a torpor-like state in mice, rats. Some mammals and birds have a clever way to preserve energy and heat by going into…

New framework for super-resolution ultrasound

Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology used deep learning to develop a new framework for super-resolution ultrasound. Traditional super-resolution ultrasound techniques use microbubbles: tiny spheres of…

A giant leap forward in wireless ultrasound monitoring for subjects in motion

Engineers at UC San Diego develop a fully integrated system for deep-tissue monitoring. A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed the first fully integrated…

New device gently moves esophagus, making heart ablations safer

A new device invented with the help of an electrophysiologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center makes a heart procedure safer for patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AFib),…
