SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2024 — During brain surgery, healthy and diseased brain regions are marked with sterile papers to define the margins for a safe operation. These margins are defined through communication between the neurosurgeon and a team of electrophysiologists located in a different part of the operating area. Adding further difficulty, the electrode grids that are used to measure brain activity and identify the boundaries between pathological and functional brain regions have low resolution and limited conformity to the brain surface. To enable more efficient monitoring of brain surface activity during...Read full article

    quantum dots
    A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
