Low-voltage artificial neuron enables direct communication with living tissue

Researchers built a low-voltage artificial neuron that operates at biological neuron voltages (~60–130 millivolts) using a memristor tuned with Geobacter nanowires, producing neuron-like spikes and enabling real-time communication with living cells (initially cardiomyocytes), with energy efficiency and fewer amplification needs—paving the way for closer brain–machine integration, though not yet a medical device.

Computers Take Inspiration from Brain Cells.

Researchers have developed a more powerful and energy-efficient memristor, based on the structure of the human brain, that combines data storage and processing. The new technology, made from nanocrystals of halogenated perovskite, is not yet ready for use as it is difficult to integrate with existing computer chips, but it has the potential for parallel processing of large amounts of data. The researchers are developing computer architectures inspired by the functioning of the human brain through new components that, like brain cells, combine data storage and processing.
