To understand how the brain functions and how its dysfunction causes diseases, modalities to modulate neuronal activity with high precision are needed. Brain stimulation modalities with millimeter ...

The properties of carbon-based nanomaterials can be altered and engineered through the deliberate introduction of certain structural 'imperfections'. The challenge, however, is to control the number ...

The shape, size and optical properties of 3-dimensional nanostructures can now be simulated in advance before they are produced directly with high precision on a wide variety of surfaces. Nanoprobes ...

Dynamic control of terahertz (THz) waves at-will with an ultracompact device is important for THz technologies in biomedical imaging, telecommunications, detection, and beyond. However, tunable THz ...

Technique could lead to new classes of materials that can bend light, such as for those used in cloaking devices Northwestern University researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind technique for ...

With the increasing threat of sophisticated counterfeits, what is a security device that can combat against them? It has been known that a technology that has never existed before can be used in ...

Galvanically (that is, optically or electromagnetically) isolated 4- to 20-mA current loops offer robust noise immunity and tolerate long cable runs. These advantages, combined with simple unshielded ...

As a society, we’ve largely come together to agree that laser pointers are mostly useless. They’re now the preserve of university lecturers and those destined to wind up in a jail cell for harassing ...

Communications and location technologies are primarily based on the generation transmission, and reception of electromagnetic signals. In certain cases, the environment can distort, attenuate, or even ...

Loctite Liquid Optically Clear Adhesives (LOCA) increase display durability, extend product life, reduce power consumption, and permit thinner device designs. Dual-cure technologies provide full cure ...
