Linköping University in Sweden scientists have created a novel soft gel electrode that might revolutionize brain stimulation. According to this Wired article, the scientists developed a gel that, when ...

An injectable gel that transforms into a conductive material inside the body has been shown not to disrupt the swimming ability of zebrafish, and was also used to control the muscles of dead leeches.

From breath-powered neurostimulation implants to arm cuffs that can head off migraines, the world of bioelectronic devices has come a long way from the early days of the humble pacemaker. But the ...

Brain cells communicate via chemical signals and short electrical impulses, a phenomenon doctors have long aimed to harness in medicine. But delivering jolts to the nervous system, also known as ...

Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg Universities in Sweden have successfully grown gel-based electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. By injecting a gel ...

A solid entry point into vagus nerve stimulation that doesn’t compromise on quality despite its lower price point 4.5/5 ...

A new study has taken ‘biotechnology’ to a whole new level. Researchers have developed a gel that facilitates electrode growth in zebrafish and medicinal leech tissues. Previously, combining ...

For the first time, researchers have harnessed the body’s own chemistry to “grow” electrodes inside the tissues of living fish, blurring the boundary between biology and machines. The technique uses ...
