The blending of biological and artificial “computing” is a topic that stretches back to the 1940s and 50s. Now, Cortical Labs has successfully developed a brain-on-a-chip computer primarily designed ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

An Australian startup has unveiled the world’s first commercial biological computer that runs on living human brain cells. Melbourne-based Cortical Labs launched the CL1 at Mobile World Congress in ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

Imagine balancing a ruler upright in the palm of the hand: There is a need to continually pay attention to the angle of the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Journalist, analyst, author, podcaster. The world’s first “code-deployable” biological computer is now for sale. The Cortical Labs ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

A hot minute after the world started talking about GPU-powered neural networks, the conversation's quickly changed to neural networks powered by actual neurons. You can now order a literal ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells to ...
