A computer model developed by researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute could lead to new methods for studying ...

TL;DR: Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a silicon transistor that mimics biological neurons and synapses, offering a scalable and energy-efficient solution for ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most ...

Scientists long have warned we’ll eventually reach the physical limits of what silicon chips can do. Beyond the energy required to power an ascendant artificial intelligence industry and endless ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...

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 ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with other ...

A new study has pinpointed how the APOE4 gene variant sabotages the brain’s energy balance, blocking neurons from burning fat for fuel when glucose runs low, a discovery that could reveal new ways to ...
