Engineers Create First Artificial Neurons With Electrical Functions As Living Cells

A new innovation has surfaced as a team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts have created the first artificial neurons. These newly built neurons comprise the features of electrical functions that certainly makes it close to the biological ones. Considering their previous work where they used protein nanowires synthesized from the bacteria which generates electricity, this innovation can lead to the evolution of efficient computers that work on the biological principles and connect with the living cells, present within a human body. Understanding Electrical Efficiency of a Human Brain According to Shuai Fu, lead author of the study published in Nature Communications, Although a human brain processes extensive data, however, the power usage is considerably low, as compared with that of electricity used to run a Large Language Model (LLM) like ChatGPT. Likewise, the human brain's efficiency is unmatchable with an electrical computer one. For instance, as the brain is build...
