Researchers have found that a hard probe inserted in the cerebral cortex of a rat model turns nearly as flexible as the surrounding gray matter in minutes, and induces less of the tough scarring that ...

A short, flexible, reusable probe for the atomic force microscope that enables state-of-the-art precision and stability in picoscale force measurements has been engineered by scientists. Shorter, ...

Ultra-flexible, nanoelectronic thread (NET) brain probes have been designed that can achieve more reliable long-term neural recording than existing probes and don't elicit scar formation when ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have developed a tiny neural probe that can be implanted for longer time periods to record and ...

(Nanowerk News) Engineering researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have designed ultra-flexible, nanoelectronic thread (NET) brain probes that can achieve more reliable long-term neural ...

(a) A complete image of the flexible probe. (b) Detail of the probe tip shown in the black rectangle of image a. (c) Schematic diagram of the probe structure. Epilepsy is one of the most common ...

Chinese researchers have made significant progress in developing flexible invasive brain-computer interface implants, creating a stiffness-tunable "Neurotentacle" probe that can reduce implantation ...
