Semiflexible optoelectrodes for high-resolution neuron readout and stimulation with low damage

The use of electrodes placed inside the brains of laboratory specimens has pushed the field of neuroscience to new findings for decades. Common silicon-based electrodes rely on established production methods but are stiff and prone to injuring the brain. More pliable polymer-based electrodes avoid these issues but are difficult to scale, especially when integrating light emitters for neuron stimulation. Researchers […]

Air filter and floor sampling to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in schools

A major concern during the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was the possibility that SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen responsible for the disease, might spread through surfaces. Many previous studies indicated that the SARS-CoV-2 could remain active on surfaces for several days; however, no studies have proved the transmission of infection from surface to person. These studies suggested performing […]
