Researchers in Japan and the U.S. have developed early biocomputer prototypes using living neurons to process information in real time. The Japanese team trained rat neurons to generate complex ...

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

Computing is entering a period of fragmentation rather than convergence. As silicon scaling slows and energy costs climb, multiple alternative computing paradigms are emerging in parallel. Quantum ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

This year, AI continued looming large in the software world. But more than before, people are wrestling with both its amazing capabilities and its striking shortcomings. New research has found that AI ...

There are plenty of sci-fi films that still seem like they will never happen, such as Back to The Future, but there are also more than a few as if they are happening right now. Sure, we haven’t ...

The EURETINA meeting featured new treatments in gene therapy and innovative implants to enhance patient quality of life. Frank Holz, MD, FEBO, FARVO, a retina specialist from Bonn, Germany, discusses ...

Johns Hopkins University ranks No. 7 among national universities, according to the latest list of the nation's best colleges for undergraduates published by U.S. News & World Report. The annual list, ...

Computers that combine living human brain cells with silicon chips to form a neural network can now be used by researchers to conduct experiments in different fields. Until recently, accessing a ...
