Mesh electronics, a macroporous network of components with mechanical properties similar to that of biological tissue, is a relatively new technology that can be used to probe activity in the brain.

A flexible electronic mesh has been injected into the brains of mice to monitor neurological activity. Impressively, the electronics are delivered using a needle with a diameter of 0.1mm, but safely ...

Flexible electronics have wide applicability, ranging from development of bendable screens to personal health monitors. Scientists are particularly interested in using these materials for medical ...

The mesh unrolls like a loosed parachute—not into thin air but rather into the brain of an unconscious mouse. Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured ...

Time for your injection of … electronics? We now have the technology, according to a study published June 9 in Nature Nanotechnology. Researchers have created flexible mesh electronics that roll up to ...

An international team of researchers may have hit on a solution when it comes to the invasiveness of probes placed in the brain--a major stumbling block when it comes to neural interfaces. The ...

From mind-control to boosting intelligence, brain implants are a popular feature of sci-fi films. Now scientists have engineered flexible electronics that can be injected into brain tissue through a ...

Harvard has an electronic device that can be injected directly into the brain, or other body parts, and treat everything from neurodegenerative disorders to paralysis. Led by Charles Lieber, the Mark ...
