Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...

Lesser et al provide a comprehensive description of Drosophila wing proprioceptive sensory neurons at the electron microscopy resolution. This "tour-de-force", provides a strong foundation for future ...

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these technologies depends on understanding how electrochemical reactions work.

The human brain – all 86 billion neurons of it – is something of an enigma. Despite decades of research, our understanding of how it works remains limited, presenting a major roadblock in the quest to ...
