Ultrafast ‘electron camera’ visualizes atomic ripples in 2-D material
Understanding motions of atomic layers may help design solar cells, electronics and catalysts of the future
Tunable brain cells that morph on demand
Have implications for educational policies and new therapies for neurological disorders
Controlling brain cells with ultrasound
Sonogenetics may be able to selectively activate brain, heart, muscle, and other cells using ultrasonic waves, similar to optogenetics
Cocoa flavanols lower blood pressure and increase blood-vessel function in healthy people
Poor diet and high blood pressure now number one risk factors for death
Japanese paper art inspires new 3-D fabrication method that goes beyond 3-D printing limitations
Strategic ‘Kirigami cuts’ in advanced materials result in strength, not failure; could be useful in tissue engineering and microelectromechanical systems
‘Lab-on-a-Chip’ microfluidics technology may cut costs of lab tests for diseases and disorders
Requires 90 percent less sample fluid
Lightweight solar cells track the sun, providing 40 percent more energy than fixed cells
Inspired by Japanese paper-cutting art, they replace heavy conventional Sun-tracking systems
