A hybrid P3HT-Graphene interface for efficient photostimulation of neurons [PDF]
Graphene conductive properties have been long exploited in the field of organic photovoltaics and optoelectronics by the scientific community worldwide. We engineered and characterized a hybrid biointerface in which graphene is coupled with photosensitive polymers, and tested its ability to elicit lighttriggered neural activity modulation in primary ...
