Linköping University in Sweden scientists have created a novel soft gel electrode that might revolutionize brain stimulation. According to this Wired article, the scientists developed a gel that, when ...

Our world is populated by hundreds of thousands of cyborgs. Some are Parkinson’s patients, who can shut off their tremors by activating metal electrodes implanted deep within their brains.

We have recently recommended a video of five promising new battery technologies. Among them, one really called our attention: the dual carbon electrode cell. Although it is still under development, ...

An injectable gel that transforms into a conductive material inside the body has been shown not to disrupt the swimming ability of zebrafish, and was also used to control the muscles of dead leeches.

Researchers taught a synthetic neuron network to play a version of the retro arcade game "Pong" by integrating the brain cells into an electrode array controlled by a computer program. When you ...
