A Leap Toward Surgery-Free Neural Therapy

Tiny, injectable electronics are redefining what’s possible in brain medicine. Researchers have created cell-sized, wireless chips that merge with living cells, travel through the body undetected, and even cross into the brain to target diseased areas. By delivering precise stimulation without surgery, this breakthrough hints at a future where treating neurological disorders could be as simple as an injection.

00:00:00 To enable surgeryfree brain computer symbiosis, we have developed nano electronics at wafer scale and lifted them off the substrate to create free floating subcellularsized wireless electronic chips with a record power conversion efficiency. Then we have attached these electronic chips with living biological cells to create unique cell

00:00:26 electronics hybrids which fuses the versatility of electronics with the biological prowess of living cells. These hybrids can be placed inside the body with a simple injection in the arms and they can travel seamlessly through the body fluids without being attacked by the immune system. These hybrids enable the first

00:00:52 demonstration of electronics which can even cross the intact bloodb brain barrier and autonomously recognize a target disease region in the brain and selfimplant there. These electronics provide precise electrical stimulation of the brain, enabling surgery-free brain computer symbiosis for transcending humans beyond diseases and biological
