McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

Researchers engineered a nanodevice that senses and processes light in one structure. It mimicked neuron-like behavior, ...

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

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 ...

Some scientists are wondering if we could mimic the energy-efficient processes of the human brain to improve AI systems. A new study successfully used an aerosol jet printer to create artificial ...

Built of low-powered protein nanowires, made from bacteria, these neurons open the door to vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers. (Nanowerk News) A team of engineers at the University of ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

A team at Carnegie Mellon University is helping kids understand artificial intelligence with a soft, squishy, LED-lit neural network. "Everyone, even middle schoolers, needs to know a little about ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

Neuromorphic systems, inspired by nature, are sought to efficiently process analogue inputs in real and complex environments. This could lead to ultralow-power in-sensor intelligent edge computers.
