Robots are starting to flinch. New generations of electronic skin can register heat, pressure and even damaging force, then ...

Robots are starting to gain something that looks a lot like a sense of touch, and in some cases even a crude version of pain.

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new study has introduced a method that does exactly this—not just by looking at ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

A breakthrough single-cell enteric nervous atlas charts how microbes and allergic inflammation can rewire neuronal and intestinal function—paving the way for a new generation of neuron-targeting ...

Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...

Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...

Radar sensors have recently been explored in the industrial and consumer Internet of Things (IoT). However, such applications often require self-sustainable or untethered operations, which are at odds ...

Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out how they contribute to brain functions. A novel study by MIT researchers at ...
