Researchers have, for the first time, used a material's persistent photoconductivity to stimulate neurotype cells. The technique, which is relatively simple, should facilitate future research on using ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for manipulating the behavior of cells on semiconductor materials, using light to alter the conductivity of the material itself. Researchers at North Carolina ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Protein-based nanomaterials that respond to light are emerging as candidates for integrating biological compatibility with programmable electronic behavior. Their appeal lies in ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new approach for manipulating the behavior of cells on semiconductor materials, using light to alter the conductivity of the material ...
