In a lab rack that looks more like a high-end audio system than a server, clusters of human brain cells are quietly learning ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...

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 ...

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is considering signing an executive order to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, though he offered no timeline for the move. Reuters, the news and media ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Bram Servais formerly worked for Cortical Labs but holds no shared patents or stock and has severed all financial ties. As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current ...
