Published Human brain organoids implanted into mouse cortex respond to visual stimuli for first time
(via sciencedaily.com) A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli. The implanted organoids reacted to visual stimuli in the same way as surrounding tissues, an observation that researchers were able to make in real time over several months thanks to an innovative experimental setup that combines transparent graphene microelectrode arrays and two-photon imaging.
Published Designing with DNA
(via sciencedaily.com) Marvel at the tiny nanoscale structures emerging from labs, and it's easy to imagine you're browsing a catalog of the world's smallest pottery: itty-bitty vases, bowls, and spheres. But instead of making them from clay, the researchers designed these objects out of threadlike molecules of DNA, bent and folded into complex three-dimensional objects. These creations demonstrate the possibilities of a new open-source software program.
Published Shrinking hydrogels enlarge nanofabrication options
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a strategy for creating ultrahigh-resolution, complex 3D nanostructures out of various materials.
Published New X-ray imaging technique to study the transient phases of quantum materials
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source An international team of researchers has recently demonstrated for the first time the use of a new lensless ultrafast X-Ray method to image phase transitions. This new method enables the direct observation of the dynamics of quantum materials at the nanoscale.
