When science teachers return to the CNT’s Research Experience for Teachers program, everyone benefits

The CNT is supporting middle and high school teachers who return to the center year-after-year, benefiting not only those teachers’ students and peer educators, but the CNT's education programs and researchers as well.

New, carbon-based neural probe provides a multimodal platform for better understanding the brain

This new probe is capable of electrically stimulating and recording from neurons in the brain while simultaneously detecting dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.
