While the world focuses on the power consumption of massive AI data centers, researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are looking at a more efficient alternative: the human brain.

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Cortical Labs uses human brain cells attached to silicon chips to create biological computers that could offer energy ...

The systems use around 200,000 neurons grown from human stem cells, mounted on arrays of thousands of electrodes ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

It's been a long time since Alice Charton got a good look at a human face. There are plenty of people moving through her world, of course—her husband, her friends, her doctors, her neighbors—but ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...
