Researchers have developed a "laser-powered artificial neuron," which is like a supercharged version of a biological neuron. This chip-based laser neuron mimics how human neurons work, but it's ...

Are artificial neurons underestimating the power of their biological models? Ten years after initial theoretical predictions, researchers have demonstrated that an isolated biological neuron can ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Cerebellar granule cell and its response to a pair of 50-Hz stimuli. (A) Biological neuron. (B) Computational model used for simulation. (C) Simulated neuron. (D) Electronic neuron. The biological ...

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 ...

For the first time, an electrical communication has just been established between a living nerve cell and its artificial equivalent. In the laboratories of the University of Massachusetts, engineers ...

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 ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...

A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within the frequency range of human neurons. Artificially ...

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, ...
