Scientists are experimenting with ways to integrate brain cells into computer processors. The technology could help conserve energy. FinalSpark's Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) incorporate four human ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

For nearly half a century, the dream of microscopic robotics has felt tantalizingly close, yet perpetually out of reach. We have grown up on a diet of science fiction like Fantastic Voyage, imagining ...

Skild AI raised $1.4 billion in a SoftBank-led round, valuing it at $14 billion as it builds a unified “brain” to run ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...
