Researchers confirm phosphorus chains exhibit true one-dimensional electron behavior. Tightly packing the chains could trigger a semiconductor-to-metal transition.

A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

Electrons confined within self-assembled phosphorus chains have been shown to move in a strictly one-dimensional manner, marking a significant advance in condensed matter physics and nanomaterials ...

Osmotic energy, existing between the seawater and river water, is a renewable energy source, which can be directly converted ...

Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates off-target cells and limits resolution. A new microneedle electrode design ...

Researchers build soft 3D bioelectronic mesh with 240 electrodes that records from 91% of lab-grown brain organoid surface.

Quantum computers hold great promise for exciting applications in the future, but for now they keep presenting physicists and engineers with a series of challenges and conundrums. One of them relates ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...
