Researchers have created heart monitoring sensors that conform to the skin, are comfortable, and can be worn while people are ...

To make electric vehicles more practical and attractive to consumers, lithium-ion batteries need some improvements. Mainly, they need to hold much more energy per weight to allow vehicles to go longer ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Detecting specific chemicals in complex mixtures remains a persistent scientific challenge. When multiple compounds exist together – as in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or ...

Current electrochemical theory does not adequately describe realistic platinum electrodes. Scientists at Leiden University have now, for the first time, mapped the influence of imperfect platinum ...

Microneedle electrodes can penetrate beneath the skin, allowing for more accurate bioelectrical signal acquisition (such as EEG, ECG, and EMG) from outside the body. Research into their materials has ...

A new study demonstrates hybrid fabrication of electrochemical electrodes directly onto 3D-printed parts using inkjet printing, enabling rapid and cost-effective creation of custom devices. The ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a close connection between individual cells and organic electronics. The study lays the foundation for future treatment of neurological and other diseases with ...

Austrian scientists have developed wafer-thin tattoo electrodes that can record brain activity. These "tattoos" are dry electrodes, and unlike typical ones, they don't require a gel medium to function ...
