LONDON--A new electronic circuit can mimic the activity of the brain and may one day be used to create computers that think more like humans, scientists said today. The cerebral cortex of the brain, ...

(Nanowerk News) The interdisciplinary nexus of biology and engineering, known as synthetic biology, is growing at a rapid pace, opening new vistas that could scarcely be imagined a short time ago. In ...

For the first time, my colleagues and I have built a single electronic device that is capable of copying the functions of neuron cells in a brain. We then connected 20 of them together to perform a ...

Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of microscopic particles. Using quantum systems to perform computation promises to allow researchers to solve problems in areas from chemistry to ...
