BOSTON – Magnetic fields generated by microscopic devices implanted into the brain may be able to modulate brain-cell activity and reduce symptoms of several neurological disorders. Micromagnetic ...

Researchers deploy an array of microscopic coils to create a magnetic field and stimulate individual neurons. The magnetic field can induce an electric field in any nearby neurons, the same effect ...

A team of researchers working at the National Ignition Facility, part of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has found that covering a cylinder containing a small amount of hydrogen fuel with a ...

Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have developed what appears to be a significant improvement in the technology behind brain implants used to activate neural circuits responsible for ...

Is more always better? Researchers from Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan, sought to find out if that was the case for measuring magnetic field strengths. Their paper, appearing this week in AIP ...

Using magnets to treat depression sounds like a mad scientist’s scheme — but it actually works. The treatment — known as TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation — is backed up by years of research ...

What Is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)? Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to treat and prevent the symptoms of depression and other ...

China has completed testing of what it says is the world’s largest superconducting magnet ...
