A startup is experimenting with data centers powered by lab-grown human neurons, testing whether living cells can offer a ...

The device could help address multiple neurological conditions if it proves successful. One early use could be delivering ...

Tiny micro- and nanoplastic fragments seem to be turning up everywhere, including one of the most well-protected parts of the ...

Fish oil has long been praised as brain-boosting, but new research suggests the story may be more complicated. Scientists found that in people with repeated mild head injuries, a key omega-3 fatty ...

Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for ...

Though it may seem like fiction, we may one day see computational hardware constructed from living human brain cells rather than traditional silicon. A biocomputer harnesses biologically derived ...

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

Hibernation can vary by species. Martin says some hibernators, such as ground squirrels, rewarm—or wake up from hibernation ...

MIT researchers discovered a paradoxical phenomenon in optical physics that could enable a new bioimaging method that's ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

Despite its small size—it could sit in the palm of your hand—the zebra finch is a remarkable learner. A songbird native to ...
