AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Arrays of electrodes for recording and stimulating the brain are used throughout clinical medicine and basic neuroscience research, yet are unable to sample large areas of the brain while maintaining high spatial resolution because of the need to individually wire each passive sensor at the electrode-tissue interface. To overcome this constraint, we developed new devices that integrate ultrathin and flexible silicon nanomembrane transistors into the electrode array, enabling new dense arrays of thousands of amplified and multiplexed sensors that are connected using fewer wires. We used this system to record spatial properties of cat brain activity in vivo, including sleep spindles, single-trial visual evoked responses and electrographic seizures. We found that seizures may manifest as recurrent spiral waves that propagate in the neocortex. The developments reported here herald a new generation of diagnostic and therapeutic brain-machine interface devices.

The separation of large-size-range particles of complex biological samples is critical but yet well resolved. As a label-free technique, dielectrophoresis (DEP)-based particle separation faces the challenge of how to configure DEP in an integrated microfluidic device to bring particles of various sizes into the effective DEP force field. Herein, we propose a concept that combines the passive flow fraction mechanism with the accumulative DEP deflection effect in a cascaded manner.

Developing sufficiently effective non-precious metal catalysts for large-current-density hydrogen production is highly significant but challenging, especially in low-voltage hydrogen production systems. Here, we innovatively report high-entropy alloy nanoflower array (HEANFA) electrodes with optimizable reaction pathways for hydrazine oxidation-assisted hydrogen production at industrial-grade current densities. Atomic-resolution structural analyses confirm the single-phase solid-solution structure of HEANFA.

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a minimally invasive ablation technique that compromises integrity of the cell membrane through the application of short duration, high voltage electric pulses to induce cell death. Adverse effects of IRE such as muscle contractions are reduced with higher frequency biphasic pulsing, commonly known as high-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE). IRE and H-FIRE treatments have shown to increase immune activation through the induction of both immediate and delayed cell death, indicated by the release of damage-associated molecular pathways, antigens, and proteins.

Plant electrical signals serve as a medium for long-distance signal transmission and are intricately linked to plant stress responses. High-fidelity acquisition and analysis of plant electrophysiological signals contribute to early stress identification, thereby enhancing agricultural production efficiency. While traditional plant electrophysiology monitoring methods like gel electrodes can capture electrical signals on plant surfaces, which face limitations due to the plant cuticle barrier, impacting signal accuracy.
