In a recent article, researchers introduced light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films as advanced neuronal interfaces, ...

Recent advances from MIT researchers are paving the way for unprecedented methods to monitor and potentially heal individual ...

Researchers developed tiny wearable devices for cells that can snugly enfold neurons and neuronal processes without damaging the cell. These thin-film wearables, made from a soft polymer, could enable ...

A technology aims to be a "wearable" device for neurons, wrapping around individual nerve fibers to better study and treat ...

There have been many attempts to create monochromatic metallic materials, but few materials change luster color in response ...

Tiny wearables for cells: MIT researchers are developing microscopic devices that can wrap around neurons. These battery-free ...

MIT researchers have developed battery-free wearable devices small enough to attach to individual cells for potential disease ...

The liquid crystals were doped with azobenzene. When pumped with 420-nm laser light, the atoms in the azobenzene molecules rearrange. This in turn induces a phase change in the liquid crystal ...

MIT has developed light-activated cell-wearable devices that mimic myelin and restore neuron function, offering hope for ...

Haddad ’23, who was an MIT undergraduate researcher during the work; and MIT graduate students Baju C. Joy and Chen Song. The research appears in Nature Communications Chemistry ("Light-induced ...

There have been many attempts to create monochromatic metallic materials, but few materials change luster color in response ...

Chemical physics is concerned with the application of the concepts and theories of physics to the analysis of chemical systems and their physical behaviour. While also at the interface between ...
