This paper introduces blood-mediated optoacoustic stimulation (BOAS) for precise brain cortex stimulation, showing it can trigger neuronal activity comparable to natural visual stimulation and is more efficient than photothermal methods.

This paper introduces an oblique photothermal microscope (OPTM) for ultrasensitive in vivo IR spectroscopic imaging with sub-micron resolution, enabling low-dose imaging of skin and tracking of topical drugs.

The paper describes a method to create highly reproducible optoacoustic emitters for precise neural stimulation and demonstrates their effectiveness in vitro.

This paper demonstrates bi-modal microwave neuromodulation through thermal and non-thermal mechanisms using a microwave rod antenna, enabling wireless treatment of seizures and chronic pain.

This study compares photoacoustic and photothermal neuromodulation, finding that photoacoustic stimulation requires significantly less energy and involves mechano-sensitive channels.
