Researchers have developed soft, conductive gold electrodes that can interface with the nervous system, will treat neurological disorders.
The electrodes are soft like nerves, stretchable, and electrically conductive, and expected to have a long lifespan inside the body.Researchers at Linköping University have created gold nanowires and developed soft electrodes that can be connected to the nervous system.
In recent years, multiple studies have demonstrated that soft electrodes may cause less tissue damage than hard electrodes. However, creating long, narrow gold nanostructures requires significant effort. This has posed a significant challenge, but researchers have developed a new method for producing gold nanowires using silver nanowires.

Researchers predict new phase in neutron stars that favors 'nuclear pasta'Neutron stars are extreme and mysterious objects that astrophysicists cannot see inside. With a radius of around 12 kilometers, they can have more than twice the mass of the sun. The matter in them is packed up to five times as densely as in an atomic nucleus; with black holes, they are the densest objects in the universe.
