Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological ...

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...
