Artificial neural networks built with biological cells promises massive energy savings.

G protein-coupled receptors, or GPCRs, sit in the plasma membrane, the boundary that defines the inside and outside of a ...

Researchers have engineered synthetic cells capable of mimicking biological division, a step toward artificial life systems.

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

A 3D network of living neurons and electronics can recognize electrical patterns and may help researchers study both brain ...

Until now, studying the genetic processes in cells required destroying them—making it impossible to observe these processes ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Research shows that consciousness is rooted in living intelligence. The future of our mental health depends on the ...
