We demonstrate the fabrication, calibration and properties of two types of ion-selective microelectrodes (double-barreled and concentric) for measurement of ion concentrations in brain tissue. These are then used in the mouse hippocampal slice preparation to show that excitatory activity changes both extracellular potassium and sodium concentrations.

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...
FAQs
The overlapping D-shaped windings help preserve magnetic coupling between the transmitter and receiver across an elongated charging area. Magnetic coupling describes how effectively the changing field from one coil links with the other. By distributing the effective transfer region along the paired geometry, the design can remain useful when the receiver is not perfectly centered over the transmitter.
Alternating current continuously changes the magnetic field produced by the transmitter coil. That changing field passes through the nearby receiver coil and induces a voltage in its winding. A steady current would not provide the same time-varying magnetic condition described for energy transfer. This relationship makes current variation central to contactless electrical power transfer.
Their paired D-shaped geometry supports magnetic coupling over an elongated region rather than concentrating useful transfer at only one narrowly aligned position. Consequently, the receiver can shift laterally while still remaining within a usable charging area. This tolerance is important in engineering systems where vehicle or device placement may vary between charging sessions.
Engineers must consider alignment, transfer efficiency, and the size of the usable charging area together. Increasing practical tolerance to lateral displacement is valuable, but the system must still maintain sufficient magnetic coupling for power transfer. Double-D coils are relevant because their geometry addresses these competing requirements in applications where exact positioning and physical electrical contacts are undesirable.
The process begins when alternating current is supplied to the transmitter coil. Its changing magnetic field extends toward the nearby receiver coil, where the field induces voltage in the receiver winding. The resulting contactless transfer depends on the coils remaining sufficiently coupled. Engineers evaluate the arrangement by considering how alignment and the available charging area affect practical operation.
Wireless electric-vehicle charging requires power transfer across a gap without direct electrical contacts, while vehicle positioning may vary laterally. Double-D coils suit this context because their overlapping windings help maintain coupling across an elongated charging region. That geometry can provide a more usable charging area, making alignment tolerance and transfer efficiency important engineering considerations for vehicle systems.
