A combination of advanced 3D printing and microscopy has enabled researchers to gain new insights into what happens while taking magnets to three dimensions on the nanoscale, which is 1000 times smaller compared to a strand of human hair.
The quantum Hall effect traditionally only plays a role in two-dimensional electron systems. Recently, however, a three-dimensional version of the quantum Hall effect was described in the Dirac semimetal ZrTe5.
Brain activity optical imaging aided by new implantable tool: Study ANI | Updated: Apr 24, 2021 22:37 IST Washington [US], April 24 (ANI): A nanophotonic technology was used by a team of researchers to develop a brain-implantable tool that can aid in the optical imaging of brain activity. The study was published in the journal Neurophotonics. Tools that allow neuroscientists to record and quantify functional activity within the living brain are in great demand. Traditionally, researchers have used functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques, but this...
New implantable tool images brain activity in 3D Tools that allow neuroscientists to record and quantify functional activity within the living brain are in great demand. Traditionally, researchers have used techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, but this method cannot record neural activity with high spatial resolution or in moving subjects. In recent years, a technology called optogenetics has shown considerable success in recording neural activity from animals in real time with single neuron resolution. Optogenetic tools use light to control neurons and record signals in ...
