Device entries

Nanoelectronic thread probes (NET): subcellular-dimension ultraflexible electrodes that the authors report integrate without a glial scar and track single units for months. Preclinical.

Limits

A search result for a Chong Xie lab site shows that group at Rice, so this brief does not name a current lab or principal investigator for UT Austin.
