You pick up a fragile glass from the table. Without thinking about it, you feel its surface against your fingertips and ...

Inside a chip, there are tiny components that convert electrical signals into optical signals. A Japanese company and a university have significantly boosted their "effectiveness."By September 28, Sum ...

Where does the "light" that enters a camera turn into "data"?At the entrance to that process is the image sensor.It receives light that has passed through the lens and converts it into electrical ...

What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signaling that causes the trap to snap shut. Bioelectronic ...

HANOVER, GERMANY: A mannequin is fitted with a prototype of a "mental typewriter", which is an EEG (Electro Encephalogramme Measurement) Cap that processes electric impulses from the brain into ...

Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory ...

Liposomes are small spherical vesicles with walls comprising two layers of lipids and containing an aqueous core. These artificial structures have been developed for drug delivery or as carriers of ...

What else might be hidden in the electrical language of the cells in our brains? Neuroscientists often record the activity of neurons as a series of simple events: A cell produces an electrical pulse, ...

Human beings and other animals send electrical signals via the central nervous system. The Venus flytrap, which lacks such a nervous system, also sends rapid electrical impulses, which are generated ...
