Scientists Create Synthetic Neuron That “Speaks” the Language of the Mind

Constructed from low-powered protein nanowires made by micro organism, these neurons might allow vastly extra environment friendly, bio-inspired computer systems. Engineers on the College of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a synthetic neuron that behaves strikingly like its pure counterpart. The breakthrough builds on earlier analysis through which the group created protein nanowires from electricity-producing micro organism. Their new discovery […]
