Neuroscientists Successfully Control Lab Mice Movements via Brain Implants
Without the aid of cheese or any rodent-enticing snacks, neuroscientists from Stanford University have successfully controlled lab mice movements via implanted devices wirelessly. This new breakthrough in neuroscience is called “optogenetics”, using light to activate certain brain cells and trigger specific neural pathways. While previous researchers used fiber-optic cables implanted…

Lithium-Ion Battery With Heat Control Created
Lithium-ion batteries are used in everything, from your phone to handheld gaming devices. They are the basis for most portable powered devices but by design, they are typically quite old. While they’ve received their upgrades over time, lithium ion batteries have the same flaw a lot of technology has these…

Scientists Work Out How To 3D Print Vascular Networks
3D Printing has come a long way, from objects to food and now even human skin and meat. One of the major problems when attempting to print human meat was printing out the vascular network, meaning all the blood vessels and ventricles. However, it appears that even the latter problem…
