The influential computer scientist Mark Weiser once wrote that “a good tool is an invisible tool. By invisible, I mean that the tool does not intrude on ...

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

Computer chips are everywhere. They power our smartphones, run our cars, and even manage our household appliances. With such intense demand, the race to build faster, more efficient chips never slows.

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...

Clone Robotics made the Protoclone which is a faceless, anatomically accurate, synthetic human with over 200 degrees of freedom, over 1,000 Myofibers, and over 200 sensors. This is pretty much like ...

A new machine learning method has achieved what even AlphaFold cannot — the design of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), the shape-shifting biomolecules that make up nearly 30% of all human ...

Scientists at the Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines are working to develop a vaccine to fight off the bacterium ...

Recently, a neurotech company called Paradromics made headlines by successfully implanting its brain-computer interface (BCI) in a human for the first time. The procedure happened at the University of ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...
