Researchers developed a transparent smart contact lens that uses gold nanoparticle-embedded PEDOT:PSS nanowires to improve ...

A biomechanical well plate inspired by the pressure-sensing lateral line of fish can wirelessly monitor the pulse of multiple ...

ADELPHI, Md. – Army scientists achieved a major milestone in quantum sensing technology that could transform how electromagnetic signals are detected on the battlefield. For the first time, scientists ...

ISLANDIA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--O2 Investment Partners (www.o2investment.com) announced today that it has partnered with Atlas Asphalt (“Atlas” or the “Company ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way to more precise and effective psychiatric drugs. This fluorescent microscope ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by ...

Amyloid plaques are misfolded proteins aggregates between neurons, Alzheimer's disease illustration. [Artur Plawgo/Getty Images] Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...

One of the most important measurements we make while tuning an engine is finding out what the actual balance of air and fuel was inside the engine. It doesn’t matter if we have a carburetor, port ...

Let’s face it: As we age, our vision and balance aren’t what they used to be. These changes to our senses can be minor annoyances but can also lead to injury, from stubbed toes to serious falls.

If you build engines, tune cars, or even just like mashing your foot on the throttle with conviction, you’ve probably heard the term “wideband O2 sensor” being thrown around at the track, dyno ...

When it comes to brain function, neurons get a lot of the glory. But healthy brains depend on the cooperation of many kinds of cells. The most abundant of the brain's non-neuronal cells are astrocytes ...
