Stretchable Wireless Sensor Could Monitor Healing of Cerebral Aneurysms

A wireless sensor small enough to be implanted in the blood vessels of the human brain could help clinicians evaluate the healing of aneurysms.

First-Year Students Create Their Very Own Periodic Tables

Projects based on fantasy or reality were inspired by the 2019 International Year of the Periodic Table.

Just as a prism separates white light into colors of different wavelengths, researcher Lu Zhang and his collaborators on the Singer team have developed a new method to separate brain waves into different states based on their frequency and phase. These brain states are thought to play an important role in how brain areas communicate.
