A remote control for neurons

1st June 2020by admin0

A team led by researchers at Carnegie Mellon
University has created a new technology that enhances scientists’
ability to communicate with neural cells using light. Tzahi
Cohen-Karni, associate professor of biomedical engineering and
materials science and engineering, led a team that synthesized
three-dimensional fuzzy graphene on a nanowire template to create a
superior material for photothermally stimulating cells.
NW-templated three-dimensional (3-D) fuzzy graphene (NT-3DFG)
enables remote optical stimulation without need for genetic
modification and uses orders of magnitude less energy than
available materials, preventing cellular stress.

    New Fusion

    The New Fusion technology is based on a phenomenon called triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) which is a process in which two triplet excitons annihilate and produce a higher energy singlet exciton.
