Bettinger visits UT-Dallas
Professor Bettinger visits collaborators Walter Voit and Eric Kildebeck at UT-Dallas working on flexible neural probes.
Team fabricates hydrogel-based neural probes
An interdisciplinary team lead by the Bettinger Group at CMU is advancing their work on hydrogel-based neural probes. These ultraflexible devices could have diverse applications in neural recording and stimulation. The key advantage to this class of materials is that they can interface with tissue without damaging the underlying sub-structures.
Team publishes in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces
Ik Soo, Brian, and Guannan publish their work on texture-dependent adhesion in polydopamine nanomembranes in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. Nice job!
