Active thermal metasurfaces make small objects mimic much larger thermal signatures

Active boundary heating and cooling can make a small object look much larger to thermal sensors, a step toward compact ...

Can scientists detect life without knowing what it looks like? Research using machine learning offers a new way

LifeTracer is not a universal life detector. Rather, it provides a foundation for interpreting complex organic mixtures. The Bennu findings remind us that life-friendly chemistry may be widespread ...

Wireless device uses light patterns to deliver information directly to the brain

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that ...

Engineers decode dementia type using AI and EEG brainwave analysis

Dementia is a group of disorders that gradually impair memory, thinking and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the ...

Multiscale dynamical characterization of cortical brain states: from synchrony to asynchrony

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...
