Australian researchers are turning to nature for the next computing revolution, harnessing living cells and biological systems as potential replacements for traditional silicon chips. A new paper from ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...

The systems use around 200,000 neurons grown from human stem cells, mounted on arrays of thousands of electrodes ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Journalist, analyst, author, podcaster. The world’s first “code-deployable” biological computer is now for sale. The Cortical Labs ...

Researchers at the National Science Foundation (NSF) are studying the potential to harness the computer skills of tiny groups of biological cells known as organoids. Brains, whether human or animal, ...

Silicon-based artificial intelligence has come a very long way in a very short space of time, driving massive advances in the large language models that sit at the heart of today’s generative AI ...

Can living neurons replace AI? A new study shows that biological neural networks (BNNs) can be trained to perform reservoir ...

In films like The Matrix and Ex Machina, the boundary between biological intelligence and machines dissolves. Human minds are wired into computers, artificial beings develop awareness, and the line ...

A research team at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate has demonstrated that living biological neurons can be trained to perform a supervised temporal pattern learning task previously ...

Melbourne, Australia - 12 August 2025 - Researchers have demonstrated that brain cells learn faster and carry out complex networking more effectively than machine learning by comparing how both a ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

Source: Via Tenor The human brain has been described as the most complex structure in the universe (Dolan, 2007; see also Pang, 2023). Researchers estimate that we have over 100 trillion connections ...
