The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body size) than the brains of any other primate. Scientists have always wondered ...

Brains do not compute like digital machines running programs. Consciousness may arise from a unique kind of physical computation shaped by biology, energy constraints, and real-time dynamics. Credit: ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

With aging comes change; wrinkles, gray hair, and height differences are all a part of the mix. But it’s not just the cosmetic transformations that people fear. According to a study from the Global ...
