Australian startup Cortical Labs unveils ‘world’s first’ commercial biological computer
Biological computing startup Cortical Labs has launched CL1, what it is calling the world’s first commercial biological computer. The technology combines “lab-cultivated neurons from human stem cells” with silicon to create what the company says is a “more advanced and sustainable form of AI,” a neural network dubbed Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI). According to Australia-based…

Brain-computer interface creates text on screen by decoding brain signals associated with handwriting
Scientists with the BrainGate research collaborative have, for the first time, used an implanted sensor to record the brain signals associated with handwriting and used those signals to create text on a computer in real time. In a study published in the journal Nature, a clinical trial participant with cervical spinal cord injury used the…

Building living, breathing supercomputers
The substance that provides energy to all the cells in our bodies, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), may also be able to power the next generation of supercomputers. That is what an international team of researchers led by Prof. Nicolau, the Chair of the Department of Bioengineering at McGill, believe. They’ve published an article on the subject…
