The study described in the second paper used groups of three or four rats whose brains were interconnected via microwire arrays in the somatosensory cortex of the brain and received and transmitted information via those wires. (sciencedaily.com)
Stimulation using microwires presents a novel opportunity to improve selective and natural activation of neuronal circuits in the human brain. (elifesciences.org)
With that in mind, Harry Atwater and his team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena have developed a bendy solar cell made from an array of microwires encased in a clear flexible polymer. (newscientist.com)
