These new cells are fitted with two pairs of stainless steel electrodes. One pair measures the current that flows through the solution under test, the second pair measures the voltage applied to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an increasingly common treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, but the procedure still carries significant risks. A new probe that performs ...

IMEC revealed a design strategy for brain stimulation implants at the DATE (Design, Automation, and Test in Europe) conference this week in Nice, France. “To have a more precise stimulation and ...

Japan's Kyoshin Electric (Kopel) has developed a pin-probe bar to manufacture contacting systems for busbar-less solar cells. The FSS4 probing solution is also suitable for multi-busbar, half/triple ...

To shed new light on the contribution of different brain regions and neural circuits to specific mental functions, neuroscientists and medical researchers rely on advanced imaging techniques and ...

“How does the brain work?” is a question as old as the brain itself. The brain is composed of billions of neurons and quadrillions of connections between them. Somewhere in this vast and complex ...
