Engineers create first artificial neurons that could directly communicate with living cells
A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on their previous work using protein nanowires synthesized from electricity-generating bacteria, the...
Artificial neurons have been developed that closely replicate the electrical properties of biological neurons, operating at approximately 0.1 volts, similar to natural cells. Utilizing protein nanowires from Geobacter sulfurreducens, these artificial neurons enable direct communication with living cells.
