U.S. Science & Engineering Festival culminates this weekend on the National Mall

It’s common knowledge that the U.S. no longer produces enough scientists and engineers to keep pace with the rest of the world. Now, the organizers of the USA Science & Engineering Festival are doing something about it, with a two-week, nationwide extravaganza for left-brain-leaning young people that culminates this weekend [...]

T-Shirt replaces battery: Fiber-based electrochemical micro-supercapacitor

CNS regeneration after chronic injury using a self-assembled nano material and MEMRI for real-time in vivo monitoring – Accepted Manuscript

Abstract: To speed up the process of central nervous system (CNS) recovery after injury, the need for real-time measurement of axon regeneration in vivo is essential to assess the extent of injury, as well as the optimal timing and delivery of therapeutics and rehabilitation. It was necessary to develop a chronic animal model with an [...]
