Coating Improves Electrical Stimulation Therapy Used For Parkinson’s, Depression, Chronic Pain

May 16th, 2008

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have designed a way to improve electrical stimulation of nerves by outfitting electrodes with the latest in chemically engineered fashion: a coating of basic black, formed from carbon nanotubes.
The nanotube sheathing improves the signals received and transmitted by electrodes, which researchers say is a potentially critical step for advancing […]
