A research team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique, by showing how focused ultrasound affects the human brain. Using brainwave recordings from ...

A Rutgers spin-off company, PONS, developed by an engineer who lost family to illness, improves early disease detection.

With pulses of sound through tiny speakers, Cornell physics researchers have clarified the basic nature of a new superconductor. Since it was found to be a superconductor about five years ago, uranium ...

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.

Non-surgical pain relief Wynn Legon (left), Andrew Strohman and colleagues are the first to demonstrate that low-intensity focused ultrasound can penetrate deep into the brain to relieve both pain and ...

Promising new research has raised the possibility of treating type 2 diabetes without drugs. Across three different animal models researchers have demonstrated how short bursts of ultrasound targeted ...
