But glass is too fragile, and traditional skull implants are opaque. Now, a team of bioengineers has developed an implant using a strong, transparent material that could make brain-windows a reality.

the researchers were able to create a transparent new wonder material. They then implanted a small window made from ncYZS into the skull of a mouse, and created an OCT image of part of its brain.

Three months ago, surgeons in Holland implanted a transparent plastic skull in a woman whose skull has never stopped growing. Incredibly, the rare bone disease that was wrecking her vision and ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a unique 3D-printed transparent skull implant for mice that provides an opportunity to watch activity of the entire brain surface in real time ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have figured out how to open a window into the brains of mice by using a transparent skull implant. It's called the See-Shell. "What we are trying to ...

If you’re unlucky enough to require several of these procedures, all of that repeat skull smashing can cause complications. Now, a new transparent skull implant may provide doctors with a tiny ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have developed a 3D-printed transparent skull implant for mice that provides an opportunity to watch the activity of the entire brain surface in real time.

What the team has achieved with this latest project is to build on that prior work by making a skull implant that retains the strength of the previous unit, but is also optically transparent and ...

Researchers may have a new way to watch the brain pulse, thanks to an ultrasound probe and a tiny window in the skull. This acoustically transparent hole allowed a team in California to capture ...
