Researchers at the University of Tübingen found that crows make visual decisions twice as quickly as humans and monkeys. In ...

Reflection AI has introduced Beam, its first open-weight model. It is a 501B sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with 23B active parameters, built for coding and agentic work. Reflection says it matches ...

This approach is valuable for characterizing molecular heterogeneity, but the genes that separate transcriptional clusters ...

In the early 1990s, researchers studying nonhuman primates discovered a population of brain cells they called "mirror neurons." These specialized brain cells fired when the animal performed an action ...

NUS, DayOne, and Cortical Labs have deployed a 20-unit biological computing rack in Singapore using living human neurons alongside silicon hardware. Singapore’s NUS deployment is testing whether ...

Motor neurons, the nerve cells that control muscles, have a reputation as passive messengers. But growing evidence suggests they do more than simply relay the brain’s commands. Work in fruit flies ...

Singapore's first biologically integrated server rack began operating today at the National University of Singapore's Life Sciences Institute, running on 16 million living human neurons distributed ...

Some scientists are wondering if we could mimic the energy-efficient processes of the human brain to improve AI systems. A new study successfully used an aerosol jet printer to create artificial ...

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain’s wiring, which gets worn away in MS. Scientists paid less attention to another loss that was happening ...

First look: Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs has crossed another boundary in biological computing. Its latest hardware platform, the CL1, uses living human neurons as the core of a fully ...

The findings may help explain why this group has such exceptional memory. By Dana G. Smith Many people’s brains deteriorate as they age, becoming riddled with malfunctioning proteins that result in ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...
