Tiny implantable tool for light-sheet imaging of brain activity

Researchers used nanophotonic technology to develop a brain-implantable tool that can aid in the optical imaging of brain activity. Tools that allow neuroscientists to record and quantify functional activity within…

Unlocking richer intracellular recordings

CMU/ITT researchers develop novel microelectrode platform to access and record intracellular activity. Behind every heartbeat and brain signal is a massive orchestra of electrical activity. While current electrophysiology observation techniques…

Using holographic endoscopes to observe distant objects

Endoscopes made of single-hair thin optical fibers can reconstruct images of macroscopic objects at larger imaging distances. Scientists are developing tools to observe the biological machinery in in vivo animal…

Viewing the Virus Close Up

Technology project with Heidelberg participation wants to develop compact cell-imaging for extensive application. Advancing research into how viruses penetrate and act on human cells requires powerful cell imaging approaches. Soft…

Protein fingerprinting in minutes

New technology enables ultrafast identification of COVID-19 biomarkers. Researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Francis Crick Institute have developed a mass spectrometry-based technique capable of measuring samples containing…

Shining a healing light on the brain

Scientists make pivotal discovery of method for wireless modulation of neurons with X-rays that could improve the lives of patients with brain disorders. The X-ray source only requires a machine…
