Research by UA professor reveals a more sophisticated method for delivering light to control neurons in the brain — which could ultimately mean turning off pain receptors or reducing the effects of severe neurological disorders. Optogenetics is a biological technique that uses light to turn specific neuron groups in the brain on or off. For Read more about Brain pacemakers with battery-free implants[…]
Specific Challenge: Optoelectronics and opto-electrical components involve the interactions of photons and electrons. They are used in parts such as lasers, photodiodes, image sensors, optical amplifiers, modulators, solar cells, embedded optics and light-emitting diodes. Previous research led to rapid developments and new applications in optoelectronics and photonics. However, new processes need to be introduced into Read more about Innovative manufacturing of opto-electrical parts[…]
A research group consisting of scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, Germany and Venezuela proved vulnerability of a two-dimensional semiconductor gallium selenide in air. This discovery will allow manufacturing nanoelectronics based on gallium selenide, which has never been previously achieved by any research team in the world. One of the promising areas of modern materials science Read more about How to apply an advanced non-stable semiconductor in nanoelectronics[…]
