A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that physical structure may not be where intelligence and consciousness actually ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Yet science has a track record of turning theoretical possibilities into reality. Just because a concept seems terribly, ...

By borrowing ideas from the brain, UT Dallas researchers have created hardware that learns on its own with minimal energy use ...

The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...

A neuron made in the lab now works almost like one in the body. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical ...

A recent study led by Tiffany Schmidt, Ph.D., associate professor of Ophthalmology and of Neurobiology in the Weinberg ...

“Some part of our being knows this is where we came from,” says Carl Sagan at one point during his epic cosmology-narrating documentary, Cosmos. “We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is ...
