![]() | Venkata Suresh Vajrala's work was published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics: A need exists for developing new technological solutions for obtaining highly selective and stealthy electrodes that provide reliable neural integration and maintain neuronal viability. The paper reports a novel Hollow Ring-like type electrode to sense and/or stimulate neural activity from three-dimensional neural networks. Due to its unique design, the ring electrode architecture enables easy and reliable access of the electrode to three-dimensional neural networks with reduced pressure on the biological tissue, while providing improved electrical interface with neural cells. |

Refik Yilmaz's work was published in the ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces: The development of a cost-efficient braille device is a crucial challenge in haptic technology to improve the integration of visually impaired people. This paper reports a development of a soft actuator based on a thermosensitive gel as well as a single-pin braille setup where the actuation is performed thanks to a temperature control of a microporous gel cylinder. |
