A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized and responded to. Researchers at Northwestern University say it is the ...

A small device that senses light and reacts like a brain cell could change how machines see and think. Built at the nanoscale ...

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 ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

A team at Carnegie Mellon University is helping kids understand artificial intelligence with a soft, squishy, LED-lit neural network. "Everyone, even middle schoolers, needs to know a little about ...

A team at Northwestern University has printed artificial neurons from molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) — a semiconducting mineral — on flexible plastic that produce spiking waveforms closely matching ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a light-sensitive nanoscale structure that mimics a neuron in information processing. The neuron-like behavior originates from the materials themselves.

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.
