One drawn polymer fiber records and doses at several depths of a mouse brain

DTU's mAxialtrode packs a light-guiding core and eight liquid channels into a fiber thinner than half a millimetre. It worked in mice, and its developers say routine clinical use needs much more testing and regulatory approval.
