Epilepsy is a tough nut to crack when it comes to treatment. Despite many options, doctors and patients are still struggling to find something that works really well and is safe. So, scientists are on the hunt for new ways to make antiseizure drugs better. One exciting idea is to use tiny, advanced
Did you know that electric fields can speed up or slow down chemical reactions happening on electrodes? Scientists have been trying to figure out how to use these fields to make reactions more efficient and precise, similar to how enzymes do it naturally. They've been studying how electric fields at
Imagine a world where computers process more data using simpler systems. That's the promise of multivalued logic (MVL) systems, which go beyond the usual binary logic. Scientists have been trying to make these systems work better using negative transconductance (NTC) devices made from thin semicondu
Everyone knows that hospitals handle lots of powerful medicines. Sadly, these drugs sometimes get stolen or misused, a problem known as "diversion. " So, a team of experts decided to figure out why this happens and what can be done about it. They came up with a clever plan to spot where the system m
