Firmly established as a top-tier materials science journal, AFM publishes<br \/>\n                              breakthrough research across nanotechnology, chemistry, physics, and biology, and<br \/>\n                              is widely recognized for its rigorous peer review, high-quality content, and strong<br \/>\n                              impact within the global materials science community.<\/p>\n<p>The team developed a novel nanomaterial-based coating that significantly enhances<br \/>\n                              the performance of implantable flexible neural sensors. These advanced sensors can<br \/>\n                              simultaneously detect key brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin while also recording<br \/>\n                              electrical activity.
