A brief pulse of ultrasound can gently influence a split second decision by stimulating a small brain area linked to eye ...

Fractures are a common result of trauma, and are usually described as either closed (skin over the fracture site is intact) or open (involves an open wound). They may vary in complexity from a single ...

Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles is increasingly being used to safely and reversibly open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for the treatment of brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders.

In a study involving four human patients with recurrent glioblastoma, Northwestern Medicine scientists for the first time demonstrated the use of ultrasound technology to penetrate the blood-brain ...

Cells have surface receptors called integrins that bind to repetitive domains present on the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding the cells, allowing them to grow and spread. A new study from the ...

When infrared technology wasn t enough, pulsed ultrasound found the cause of leaky MEMS tubes. An early and critical step in microelectromechanical system (MEMS) production is the bonding of two ...
