The Long Road to Today’s Cochlear Implant

Cars That Think

As Albert Mudry and Mara Mills documented in their 2013 retrospective article “ The Early History of the Cochlear Implant ,” electrical stimulation of the ear dates to at least 1748, when Benjamin Wilson stimulated the scalp of a deaf woman with electricity. Rod Saunders converses with his wife, Margaret, via his prototype cochlear implant.

EPFL/Technion team develops “champion” nanostructures for efficient solar water-splitting to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Batteries, fuel cells and solar-energy conversion devices have emerged as a class of important technologies that increasingly rely on electrodes derived from nanoparticles. Its efficiency was such that gas bubbles emerged as soon as it was under a light stimulus. We’re aiming at a €5 charge per kilo ,” he said.
