Nanotechnology to the rescue
22.12.2015
In a nutshell: Electronic neural prostheses like bionic ears, deep brain stimulators, and — potentially — bionic eyes, can repair damaged senses and movement control. This work describes a flexible electrode material that is designed to greatly reduce trauma to nerve tissue when prostheses are implanted.
