Tiny electronic implants monitor brain injury, then melt away

A new class of small, thin electronic sensors can monitor temperature and pressure within the skull - crucial health parameters after a brain injury or surgery - then melt away when they are no longer needed, eliminating the need for additional surgery ...

Microdroplet reactors mimic living systems

Takinoue and his colleagues used a microfluidic system containing a droplet of water in oil with electrodes on either side as the chemical reaction site. They then passed water in oil droplets past the reactor droplet. As each droplet passed the ...

Memristor Computer Emulates Brain Functions

Knowm is currently fabricating its devices at the Idaho Microfabrication Lab (Boise) but has several CMOS fans lined up to take on the task of mass production, once researchers has finalized their architectures, using widely available back-end-of-line ...

Bio-inspired algorithms enable a pattern of thousands of nanoscale holes into ...

Recently, researchers have shown nanoscale holes carved into thin metal sheets to be effective light scattering pixels. Surprisingly, when these nanoholes are arranged randomly, instead of periodically, the generated hologram becomes more uniform.

Controlling on-chip nano-optics by graphene nano-opto-mechanics

Due to its electromechanical properties, graphene NEMS can be actuated and deflected electrostatically over few tens of nanometres with modest voltages applied to a gate electrode. The graphene motion can thus be used to modulate the light emission by ...
