AI Gets a Brain Boost: Scientists Create ‘Thinking’ Device Using Just Water and Salt

by

Scientists have achieved a significant step towards creating artificial brain cells by developing an “iontronic memristor” which mimics a synapse, the connection point between neurons. An international team from Utrecht University (Netherlands) and Sogang University (South Korea) has created artificial neurological junctions, replicating synapses using a simple water and salt solution. This development is seen … Read more

World’s most powerful MRI scans first images of human brain

by

The world’s most powerful MRI scanner has delivered its first images of human brains, reaching a new level of precision that is hoped will shed more light on our mysterious minds — and the illnesses that haunt them.Researchers at France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) first used the machine to scan a pumpkin back in 2021. … Read more
