A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a “brain-on-a-chip,” and the researchers have been working to train the robot to perform various tasks. The stem cell brain that powers the robot is attached to a neural interface chip, which powers the entire thing.
Tianjin University, one of the two institutes behind the new research, considers the design the world’s first open-source brain-on-chip system and says that it could lead to the development of more brain-like computing. The key to the entire design is an in-vitro cultured brain...

Terrifying new robot has a brain made from human stem cells

Immortality. It’s an age-old idea that has plagued humankind for centuries. Many men over the years have sought to find some way to live forever, but futurist Raymond Kurzweil believes he may have found the best way forward. According to Kurzweil’s new book, nanorobots may be the key to stopping human aging and letting us live for thousands of years.
Of course, there are many concerns about the possibility of living for thousands of years—let alone forever. And yet, new anti-aging therapy continues to be a common focus of research for acclaimed scientists. While many seek to slow down the deterioration...

Scientists have identified a unique form of cell messaging occurring in the human brain, revealing just how much we still have to learn about its mysterious inner workings.
Excitingly, the discovery hints that our brains might be even more powerful units of computation than we realized.



					
			

Back in 2020, researchers from institutes in Germany and Greece reported a mechanism in the brain's outer cortical cells that produces a novel 'graded' signal all on its own, one that could provide individual neurons with another way to carry out their logical functions.
By measuring the electrical activity in sections of tissue removed during surgery on...

Measurements from the LHCb collaboration expand scientific understanding of how individual quarks assemble to form observable matter. Research from the Large Hadron Collider has unveiled that quarks, the primary components of visible matter, form composite particles differently based on environmental conditions. This discovery challenges the previously held belief that baryon production from quarks is uniform, pointing to a need for revised theoretical models to explain matter formation under varying densities.

The face of one of the earliest known Homo sapiens, the oldest known human, has been revealed 300,000 years after his death. The Jebel Irhoud fossils, discovered in Morocco, have pushed back the timeline of Homo sapiens by 100,000 years, revealing that our ancestors spread across Africa much earlier than previously thought.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Elusive temporary star described in historical documents recreated using new computer model, shows it may have recently started generating stellar winds. A supernova remnant from 1181, resulting from two colliding white dwarfs, was analyzed using historical records and modern astronomy. The discovery in the constellation Cassiopeia reveals a complex structure with new stellar winds, possibly indicating a reignition of the remnant star. This interdisciplinary approach provides deeper insights into the dynamics of stellar phenomena.
