Electro needle biomedical sensor array

	World's First Robot With a Biological Brain
...00 active neurons. After the specialized nerve cells have been removed from rat fetuses and separated from each other using an enzyme bath they were arranged across an 8-by-8 cm array (composed of 60 electrodes) in an environment rich in nutrients. It would be worth mentioning that the "multi-electrode array" (MEA) plays the role of an interface between live tissue and machine with the biological brain emitting electr...

	Invisibility is now one step closer
...The engineers at Purdue University have followed mathematical guidelines that were devised last year by the UK physicists to create a theoretical design, which in its turn uses an array of very small needles. The latter radiate from a central spoke outwards. The theoretical design looks like a round hairbrush. It would bend around any object that is "cloaked". Those objects that are situated in the background will be ...

	Japanese Scientists Work on a Flexible Battery
...to charge a pfilm polymer battery and that it's life cycle could be over 1000 charges. However, there are also drawbacks in this development. For example some organic radical polymers are soluble in electrolyte solutions. This results in discharging the battery. The polymer, though, should be soluble, so that the spin-coating would be possible. The Japanese scientistshave overcome this problem by photocrosslinking, thou...
