Many of the diseases that afflict people today are fundamentally addressable through neuromodulation, a process by which nervous activity is regulated by way of controlling the physiological levels of ...

University of California, Berkeley engineers have built the first dust-sized, wireless sensors that can be implanted in the body, bringing closer the day when a Fitbit-like device could monitor ...

Engineers have taken their neural dust invention a step forward by building the smallest volume, most efficient wireless nerve stimulator to date. In 2016, University of California, Berkeley, ...

The engineers who developed the system call it “neural dust.” It’s a great name. If they ever tire of being groundbreaking innovators, they could probably shift over to marketing. The team working out ...

A small device with a heart of crystal can eavesdrop on muscles and nerves, scientists report August 3 in Neuron. Called neural dust, the device is wireless and needs no batteries, appealing ...

Berkeley engineers have built the first dust-sized, wireless sensors that can be implanted in the body, bringing closer the day when a Fitbit-like device could monitor internal nerves, muscles or ...

A technology with the potential to blur the boundaries between biology and electronics has just leaped a major hurdle in the race to demonstrate its feasibility. A team at the University of California ...

Wireless sensors that can be implanted in a person's body to control robotic devices have been developed by researchers hoping to transform brain-to-computer interfaces. Scientists at the University ...

As the computation and communication circuits we build radically miniaturize (i.e. become so low power that 1 picoJoule is sufficient to bang out a bit of information over a wireless transceiver; ...

In 2016, University of California, Berkeley, engineers demonstrated the first implanted, ultrasonic neural dust sensors, bringing closer the day when a Fitbit-like device could monitor internal nerves ...
