Dr. Kerry Ressler, Chief Scientific Officer at McLean Hospital and Harvard professor, reveals breakthrough discoveries in understanding how trauma shapes the brain. His research combines molecular biology with human genetics to decode PTSD's biological signature, potentially revolutionizing treatment approaches for trauma-related disorders.

POSTECH Professor Junsuk Rho’s Team Develops a Multidimensional Sampling Theory Spanning the Entire Electromagnetic Spectrum—from Extreme Ultraviolet to Microwaves. 

Through a multi-university collaboration, researchers at Virginia Tech have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at extremely high temperatures, well beyond the breakdown temperature of traditional solid lubricant such as graphite.

Overview:

A research group from the Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science (IRES²) at Toyohashi University of Technology developed an innovative in vivo electrophysiological neural recording technology that minimizes neuronal death and allows stable recordings for over a year.

This breakthrough involves a 5-µm-diameter microneedle electrode fabricated on a flexible film using silicon-growth technology. Through experiments using mice, the team demonstrated significantly reduced neuronal death and stable neuronal activity recordings compared with traditional electrode technologies, overcoming long-standing challenges in neural recording.
