Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's ...

Are artificial neurons underestimating the power of their biological models? Ten years after initial theoretical predictions, researchers have demonstrated that an isolated biological neuron can ...

In a recent article published in Nature Materials, researchers reported a conductance-based organic electrochemical neuron (c-OECN) that mimicked biological signaling in neurons, especially activation ...

Most people wouldn’t give Geobacter sulfurreducens a second look. The bacteria was first discovered in a ditch in rural Oklahoma. But the lowly microbe has a superpower. It grows protein nanotubes ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs), the expensive computer chips made by companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Sima.ai, are no longer the only way to train and deploy artificial intelligence. Biological Black ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics. A complete perception system built by designing other organic materials and ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

The translucent chip attached to the mouse’s leg looked nothing like a neuron. Dotted with a series of sensors and channels and smaller than a human finger, it looked—and flexed—like a Band-Aid. Yet ...
