Scientists Use Nanoparticles as Heaters to Control Electrical Activity of Neurons
Scientists Use Nanoparticles as Heaters to Control Electrical Activity of Neurons Reviewed by Laura ThomsonJul 22 2021 Nanomaterials have been used in a variety of emerging applications, such as in targeted pharmaceuticals or to bolster other materials and products such as sensors and energy harvesting and storage devices. A team in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis is using nanoparticles as heaters to manipulate the electrical activity of neurons in the brain and of cardiomyocytes in the heart. The findings, published July 3, 2021, in Advanced Material...
