Abstract: The invention provides novel devices and methods that enable ultrahigh spatial and temporal resolution interfaces that allow access and intervention to local (intra- and proximate extra-neuronal) neuroelectronic and neurotransmitter molecular signatures associated with aberrant cell function and cell death leading to neurodegenerative diseases. Scalable devices based on a unique nanoscale coaxial electrode array of the invention offer neural recording and control at unprecedented levels of precisions.

Abstract: Structures and methods for controlling phonon-scattering are provided. In some embodiments, a metamaterial structure comprises a light absorbing layer (16) capable of absorbing solar energy and converting the absorbed energy into electrical current, a first patterned layer (14) disposed on a light absorbing surface of the light absorbing layer (16), the first patterned layer (14) being configured to increase light absorption in the light absorbing layer (16), and a second patterned layer (60) disposed in proximity to the light absorbing layer (16), the second patterned layer (60) being configured to control phonon-scattering by storing or protecting the hot electron energy in the light absorbing layer (16).
