Biocomputing sits at the frontier of technological innovation, using biological molecules, cells or tissues to carry out computational tasks rather than relying solely on silicon circuits. As a hybrid ...

The processing of input information is key to the intelligence of any robot. For biomedical robots the inputs are biomolecules, and analysis of these biochemical data will be crucial to the successful ...

The human brain is a master of computation. It’s no wonder that from brain-inspired algorithms to neuromorphic chips, scientists are borrowing the brain’s playbook to give machines a boost. Yet the ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

'Brain-in-a-jar' biocomputers can now learn to control robots Living brain cells wired into organoid-on-a-chip biocomputers can now learn to drive robots, thanks to an open-source intelligent ...

In the original hit TV series Lost in Space, a human-like machine called Robot would execute commands only if they made sense. Otherwise, it would flail its arms and exclaim, “That does not compute!” ...

Scientists and engineers at the Center for Biocomputing, Security and Society at the Biodesign Institute are applying interdisciplinary approaches to form cutting-edge solutions to problems in topics ...

A growing field of research known as organoid intelligence is trying to reproduce the human brain to take over AI and more. As generative artificial intelligence (AI) research rapidly spreads, a ...
