GABAergic interneurons play key roles in cortical circuits, yet little is known about their early connectivity. Here we use glutamate uncaging and a novel optogenetic strategy to track changes in the ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

Steady-state behavior and bistability have been proposed as mechanisms for decision-making in gene circuits. However, transient gene expression has also been proposed to control cell fate with the ...

Basel, April 17, 2023 Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers have identified an active multi-layer circuit that forms in the cortex during ...

Millions of patients have benefited from the innovative development of electronic medical devices – gadgets such as pacemakers or medicine dispensing agents implanted in the body for either diagnostic ...

Transient cosmic ray phenomena produced by a solar superstorm can be linked to variations in atmospheric electricity.

Right now, electronics are built to last. Soon, however, their lifespan might be more fleeting — courtesy of burgeoning research into “transient electronics,” or devices meant to serve a specific ...

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover is expected to remain stationary for several days of engineering analysis following an onboard fault-protection action on Feb. 27 that halted a process of transferring ...

Distraction can make you momentarily forget things. But how? A lab now uncovers a mechanism in fruit flies. In a landmark neurobiology study, scientists from Scripps Research have discovered a memory ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., June 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To ensure critical operations, aviation and space systems rely on digital and logic functionality and circuitry in engine control units, ...

Instant voltage transients are common in the power lines especially in places where machinery is operating. Inductive loads and high power transformers creates transients and spikes in the mains lines ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...
