A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

The unexpected parallelisms of ideas in psychology and physics suggest…a possible ultimate oneness of both fields of reality that physics and psychology study…The concept of a unitarian idea of ...

Though it may seem like fiction, we may one day see computational hardware constructed from living human brain cells rather than traditional silicon. A biocomputer harnesses biologically derived ...

There are plenty of sci-fi films that still seem like they will never happen, such as Back to The Future, but there are also more than a few as if they are happening right now. Sure, we haven’t ...

The EURETINA meeting featured new treatments in gene therapy and innovative implants to enhance patient quality of life. Frank Holz, MD, FEBO, FARVO, a retina specialist from Bonn, Germany, discusses ...

We’ve probably all seen some old newsreel or documentary from The Before Times where the narrator, using his best Mid-Atlantic accent, described those newfangled computers as “thinking machines,” or ...

It may have its roots in science fiction, but a small number of researchers are making real progress trying to create computers out of living cells. Welcome to the weird world of biocomputing. Among ...

Johns Hopkins University ranks No. 7 among national universities, according to the latest list of the nation's best colleges for undergraduates published by U.S. News & World Report. The annual list, ...

Libby Heaney’s Growler (2024) is a glass sculpture that looks anything but. Despite its crystalline surface, it appears as if viscous, gummy and glutinous as it sags and drips down the side of its ...

Computers that combine living human brain cells with silicon chips to form a neural network can now be used by researchers to conduct experiments in different fields. Until recently, accessing a ...
