Nanoscale Probe Technology Explores the Deep Brain
When it comes to recording and stimulating brain activity, scientists can rely on a formidable tool: light. An international research team, coordinated by IIT- Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Technology), has developed nanometric light modulators that, fabricated on a micrometric optical fiber, make the fiber capable of studying neuronal tissue in deep regions …
CMU demonstrates nanoscale technology that causes plants to absorb nutrients with nearly 100% efficiency – TechCrunch
Spraying plants with fertilizers and pesticides is typically a highly lossy affair – as little as 1% of the substances currently used in industrial and food production farming is actually taken up by the plant, while the rest leaches off into the soil. A new technology demonstrated for the first time by Carnegie Mellon University’s …
Nanoscale Acoustic Force Field Technology Developed That Isolates Submicron Particles
Massively multiplexed submicron particle patterning in acoustically driven oscillating nanocavities. Credit: SUTD Acoustofluidics is the fusion of acoustics and fluid mechanics which provides a contact-free, rapid and effective manipulation of fluids and suspended particles. The applied acoustic wave can produce a non-zero time-averaged pressure field to exert an acoustic radiation force on particles suspended in …
