Damaged brain tissue can be re-grown using a new method that lets researchers guide stem cells into exactly the type of brain cells they need for a particular spot. They’re targeting new treatments for stroke, traumatic brain injury and MS.Continue Rea… Continue reading Replacement brain cells, grown to order
Water is usually something you’d want to keep away from electronic circuits, but engineers in Germany have now developed a new concept for water-based switches that are much faster than current semiconductor materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Electron… Continue reading Water-based circuit concept switches much faster than semiconductors
Addressing the shortage of dopamine that characterizes Parkinson’s disease is a key objective of treatments old and new, but monitoring levels of the neurotransmitter that result from these interventions can be a tricky undertaking. Scientists have developed a promising new tool for this task described as a “fluorescent nanosensor paint,” which glows brightly in the presence of dopamine to reveal its concentrations and spread in the brain.

In a new study, German scientists have restored the ability to walk in mice that had been paralyzed after a complete spinal cord injury. The team created a “designer” signaling protein and injected it into the animals’ brains, stimulating their nerve c… Continue reading Designer protein helps paralyzed mice walk again in breakthrough study
Information can be encoded into all sorts of patterns, whether it’s short and long beeps for Morse code, raised bumps for Braille, or ones and zeroes for computers. Now researchers have demonstrated a proof of concept for encoding information into arti… Continue reading Scientists encode data into artificial molecules
