Neurons and Synapses of Neuromorphic Memory Device are Simulated
The use of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) systems containing electronic analog circuits to imitate neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system is known as neuromorphic engineering.…
Monitoring Microplastics’ ‘Journey’ Through a Living Organism’s Intestine
The behavior of microplastics during their “journey” through the intestinal tract of a living organism has been tracked by a UAB research team, and what…
Genes have improved Bioprinting for Bone Repair
