The procedure involves a magnetic coil that is placed over the scalp. Repetitive magnetic pulses emanate through the coil, enter the brain, and activate neurons in targeted regions, such as those ...

Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their ...

Microrobots are miniature robots that are made using nanotechnology. They show promise in several medical applications, such as surgery, targeted drug delivery and biopsy. But because of safety and ...

In the lab, the turtles were placed in buckets that were hooked up to a magnetic coil system; running an electric current through the system created a magnetic field in the bucket. The scientists ...

As stellarator configurations are challenging to build, most fusion experiments today are tokamaks (a short form for a Russian expression that translates as ‘toroidal chamber with magnetic coils’).

Thomas’s accomplishments in electrical engineering and MRI coil devices have earned him a place in the prestigious Marquis ...
