UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one ...

Built of low-powered protein nanowires, made from bacteria, these neurons open the door to vastly more efficient, ...

G. sulfurreducens communicate with each other through tiny, protein-based wires that researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have harvested and used to make artificial neurons that can, ...

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

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with ...

Hypothermia can preserve neuron health following brain injury, but complications from external cooling make it less promising ...

So Heimdall Power developed the Neuron, its “magic ball.” The round device attaches to power lines to measure conditions ...

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 ...

Ant societies are built on scent. Pheromones guide the insects to food, warn them of predators, and regulate the rhythms of their colonies. This chemical communication system is governed by a simple ...

Triggering a reversible, hibernation-like hypothermic state—without external cooling—in male mice after brain injury protects neural health and promotes motor recovery.
