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

G. sulfurreducens communicate with each other through tiny, protein-based wires that researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have harvested and used to make artificial neurons that can, ...

The team’s advance changes this. “Ours register only 0.1 volts, which about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao. With this low-voltage design, the artificial neurons could integrate not ...

Built of low-powered protein nanowires, made from bacteria, these neurons open the door to vastly more efficient, ...

Hypothermia can preserve neuron health following brain injury, but complications from external cooling make it less promising ...
