Engineers 3D Print Soft, Rubbery Brain Implants Using Nanofibers

Engineers 3D Print Soft, Rubbery Brain Implants Using Nanofibers

MIT engineers are working on developing soft, flexible neural implants that can gently conform to the brain's contours and monitor activity over longer periods, without aggravating surrounding tissue. Such flexible electronics could be softer alternatives to existing metal-based electrodes designed to monitor brain activity, and may also be useful in brain implants that stimulate neural regions to ease symptoms of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and severe depression.

As Electronics Shrink to Nanoscale, will they Still Be Good as Gold?

As Electronics Shrink to Nanoscale, will they Still Be Good as Gold?

Stanford School of Engineering: As circuit interconnects shrink to nanoscale, will the pressure caused by thermal expansion when current flows through wires cause gold to behave more like a liquid than a solid -- making nanoelectronics unreliable? Fortunately, research suggests that chip designers can continue to put their faith in gold.
