In the previous article, I explained the mechanism of the "brain cells" that make up the human brain.Brain cells operate by ...

A tiny strip of printed nanomaterials fired an electrical spike, and a living mouse brain cell answered back. That exchange, reported in April 2025 by researchers at Northwestern University, marks the ...

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 ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed an adiabatic capacitive neuron that recycles electrical charge to ...

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 ...

This story was first published by the UMass News Office. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions ...

A team at Northwestern University has printed artificial neurons from molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) — a semiconducting mineral — on flexible plastic that produce spiking waveforms closely matching ...

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 ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

Training neural networks to perform tasks, such as recognizing images or navigating self-driving cars, could one day require less computing power and hardware thanks to a new artificial neuron device ...

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 ...
