Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

The result is a simple and efficient neuromorphic device that mimics a brain cell ...

Today, Assistant Professor of Psychological Sciences Sydney Bourtros answers a child’s question: How does the brain make and keep memories? Sydney Boutros, Psychological Sciences, faculty/staff studio ...

University of Hong Kong engineers built the first cryogenic control chip to run at 10 millikelvin alongside superconducting qubits, using silicon carbide electron-donor ionization to mimic neural spik ...

A new approach to neuromorphic computing proposes using acoustic waves — rather than electrical ...

Neuromorphic sensors leverage brain signaling principles for proprioceptive sensing, achieving low power consumption and rapid environmental responsiveness.

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they ...

A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed an optoelectronic synaptic device that mimics the functions of ...

High-density electrophysiology devices allow neuroscientists to observe spikes from large populations of neurons, and optogenetics allows them to drive or suppress those spikes. We show that a single ...

Companies working at the frontier of aerospace, energy and computing are constantly looking for new materials to improve ...

Avoiding danger even when competing goals are imminent supports survival, yet the mechanisms orchestrating this behavioral override remain unclear. Macdonald and colleagues 1 describe a ...
