Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

While existing silicon probes work well in thin, shallow tissue, its brittleness limits deep brain maneuvering. By creating probes made out of stainless steel, researchers are able to navigate to the ...

To understand the brain better, new methods are required to observe its activity. That aim is at the heart of a molecular engineering project, spearheaded by two research groups at the European ...
