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 ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...

Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology and six other universities are teaming up to build synthetic neurons and a programmable network of such neurons in an effort to better understand the ...

Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
