Hanover Trade Fair 2003: Zigzag for the maximum µ-concentration
The dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip as µ-concentrator for reliable analyses Developed jointly by the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and NorChip AS, the µ-concentrator is particular suitable for application in biomedical diagnostics. Using DEP, this chip enables the highly efficient separation and concentration of polarisable... view more... (2003-04-07)
Nanotech coating could lead to better brain implants to treat diseases
Biomedical and materials engineers at the University of Michigan have developed a nanotech coating for brain implants that helps the devices operate longer and could improve treatment for deafness, paralysis, blindness, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. view more (2009-03-11)
Feeling up Cells
Locally resolved detection of cell signals with microelectrodes No matter how small, a living cell does not have a uniform structure. Instead, it has „organs“, called organelles, which are assigned various tasks. Even the „shell“ of the cell, its membrane, is not uniform. Functional building blocks, such as ion channels,... view more... (2001-03-01)
Reading the brain without poking it
Experimental devices that read brain signals have helped paralyzed people use computers and may let amputees control bionic limbs. But existing devices use tiny electrodes that poke into the brain. view more (2009-06-29)
A step toward better brain implants using conducting polymer nanotubes
Brain implants that can more clearly record signals from surrounding neurons in rats have been created at the University of Michigan. The findings could eventually lead to more effective treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and paralysis. view more (2009-09-30)
Deflecting damage: Flexible electronics aid brain injury research
Flexible electronic membranes may overcome a longstanding dilemma faced by brain researchers: How to replicate injuries in the lab without destroying the electrodes that monitor how brain cells respond to physical trauma. view more (2007-04-09)
ANALYTICA 2004: Trapping Smallest Bioparticles
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and the Norwegian NorChip AS have jointly developed a chip-based µ-concentrator. Suited for application in biomedical diagnostics, the dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip permits selective separation and concentration of polarisable bioparticles such as viruses and bacteria from a complex substance... view more...

Sound adds speed to visual perception
The traditional view of individual brain areas involved in perception of different sensory stimuli-i.e., one brain region involved in hearing and another involved in seeing-has been thrown into doubt in recent years. view more (2008-08-12)
New treatment effective in counteracting cocaine-induced symptoms
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered a treatment that counteracts the effects of cocaine on the human cardiovascular system, including lowering the elevated heart rate and blood pressure often found in cocaine users. view more (2007-08-13)
University of Pennsylvania Researchers Find that the Unexpected Is a Key to Human Learning
The human brain's sensitivity to unexpected outcomes plays a fundamental role in the ability to adapt and learn new behaviors, according to a new study by a team of psychologists and neuroscientists from the University of Pennsylvania. view more (2009-03-16)
Cystic fibrosis research could benefit from multi-functional sensing tool
Researchers are using an innovative, multi-functional sensing tool to investigate adenosine triposphate (ATP) release and its role in cystic fibrosis. view more (2006-03-27)
Brains response to visual stimuli helps us to focus on what we should see, rather than all there is to see
Delving ever deeper into the intricate architecture of the brain, researchers at The Salk Institute have now described how two different types of nerve cells, called neurons, work together in tiny sub-networks to pass on just the right amount and the right kind of sensory information. view more (2005-10-24)
