Biocomputing sits at the frontier of technological innovation, using biological molecules, cells or tissues to carry out computational tasks rather than relying solely on silicon circuits. As a hybrid ...

The human brain is a master of computation. It’s no wonder that from brain-inspired algorithms to neuromorphic chips, scientists are borrowing the brain’s playbook to give machines a boost. Yet the ...

The processing of input information is key to the intelligence of any robot. For biomedical robots the inputs are biomolecules, and analysis of these biochemical data will be crucial to the successful ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Artificial intelligence systems, even those as sophisticated as ChatGPT, depend on the same silicon-based hardware that has been the bedrock of computing since the 1950s. But what if computers could ...

In the original hit TV series Lost in Space, a human-like machine called Robot would execute commands only if they made sense. Otherwise, it would flail its arms and exclaim, “That does not compute!” ...

'Brain-in-a-jar' biocomputers can now learn to control robots Living brain cells wired into organoid-on-a-chip biocomputers can now learn to drive robots, thanks to an open-source intelligent ...

A growing field of research known as organoid intelligence is trying to reproduce the human brain to take over AI and more. As generative artificial intelligence (AI) research rapidly spreads, a ...

Researchers have unveiled a breakthrough technology that could transform the way scientists build and study lab-grown brain ...
