UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with biological cells and drastically improved energy efficiency. The discovery could lead to bio-inspired computers and wearable electronics that no longer need power-hungry amplifiers.
Hah, how cool is this?! I just started reading Dan Brown’s new book that is largely about this same thing.
I just finished it. Very interesting topic
So…bio-neural gel packs?
I’ve seen this movie. Run, Tuvix! Run for your life!
Janeway called and wants more coffee
Good. There are certain people that need an injection of more neurones, perhaps there is hope for humanity yet.
