Current neural interface and neuromodulation technologies lack the stability and specificity to target specific sensory or motor neurons within a nerve bundle. Emerging prosthetic devices for the central and peripheral nervous system require interfaces that can stimulate or sense targeted neurons with high discriminability to achieve very specific end-target...

Telomeres, tandem repeats at the ends of chromatids, are a particular point of interest in the science of aging and cancer. Telomeric DNA is lost during cellular replication, resulting in shortened chromatid length and cessation of cell division. Many age-related diseases are linked to shortened telomeres. Conversely, many cancer cells demonstrate elongated...

Many products, such as medical devices, need a unified way of encoding uniquely-identifying information that can be easily accessed. This can provide traceability to specifications, lot numbers, recalls, etc. This applies to medical devices both in and out of the body as well as many consumer goods. Common codes, such as a UPCs, can only be read if...
