Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, ...

The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao.

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like ...

Built from low-powered protein nanowires made by bacteria, these neurons could enable vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers. Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed ...

Serotonin is one of the primary chemicals that the brain uses to influence mood and behavior, and is a key target for psychiatric drugs. But to aid in the design of improved drugs scientists need to ...

Scientists studying the clonal raider ant have now discovered how this works: each neuron activates one odor gene while silencing all the others. The finding reveals a hidden genetic process that ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and the Polish Academy of Sciences used photons to create a spiking neuron, i.e. the basic element of the future photonic neural ...

The deep learning field has been dominated by “large models” requiring massive computational resources and energy, leading to unsustainable environmental and economic challenges. To address this, ...
