A wireless neurostimulator a little bigger than a grain of rice can be put in place alongside blood vessels to treat neurological diseases and chronic pain.

A microcolony of Methylorubrum extorquens that survives by consuming methanol also produces formaldehyde as a necessary, but toxic, byproduct. Scientists at the University of Idaho and Rice University discovered the microbe also produces a sensor protein, EfgA, that keeps the toxin in check to protect the organism.
