Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on ...

Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Advanced Computing have built artificial neurons that physically replicate the electrochemical behavior of real brain cells. The ...

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 ...

Some scientists are wondering if we could mimic the energy-efficient processes of the human brain to improve AI systems. A new study successfully used an aerosol jet printer to create artificial ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build electronics that behave like the brain. The idea is called neuromorphic computing in which chips are designed to copy the way our brain’s neurons fire and ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a chip-based quantum-dot laser that emulates a biological graded neuron while achieving a signal processing speed of 10 GBaud. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a ...
