Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics. A complete perception system built by designing other organic materials and ...

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

Researchers developed tiny wearable devices for cells that can snugly enfold neurons and neuronal processes without damaging the cell. These thin-film wearables, made from a soft polymer, could enable ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

In a recent Communications Chemistry article, researchers presented a novel approach to interfacing with neuronal structures using light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films. Image Credit: ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...
