This is HUGE: A soft brain chip could fix Neuralink's biggest implant problem. Scientists have developed a new kind of ultra 3D soft semiconductor that could finally solve the biggest problem with brain implants: The body attacking them. Right now, most brain chips are made from rigid materials like silicon. Your brain hates that. It responds by building scar tissue around the implant, slowly killing signal quality and sometimes forcing the device to be removed. This new chip changes the rules. Instead of hard electronics, researchers created a soft, hydrogel based semiconductor that bends, stretches, and moves like real brain tissue. Because it physically matches the brain, the immune system is far less likely to treat it as an invader. The result? > Cleaner signals. > Longer lasting implants. > And a much lower risk of rejection. This is huge for brain computer interfaces (BCIs), the same class of technology Neuralink is working on. BCIs translate brain activity into commands, allowing people to control computers, prosthetics, or even regain movement and speech. The real breakthrough is compatibility. Instead of forcing the brain to tolerate electronics, this chip behaves like biology.

Anyone else hear "boop" every time this finger presses on this transistor? Or is it just me? Maybe it's just me... Anyhow, the story of this video and more of the best from @ScienceMagazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: science.org/content/article/…

Definitely!!! As administrative load for faculty increases, there's less time available for us to think. Let's push the concept of "net zero" administration, where any new demand for admin load is vetted for being (at least) time neutral. – at Orfano, Greece
