In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have developed the world’s pioneer “living computer” made entirely of cells. This revolutionary invention has the potential to reshape what we perceive as ...

The human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease and metabolic process. Each cell in that ...

On a warm Melbourne day late last year, hundreds of thousands of live human brain cells sat inside a box on a table in Brunswick. While the neurons were too small to see with the naked eye, Brett ...

The shoe box-sized device, dubbed CL1, is a notable departure from a conventional computer, and uses human brain cells to run fluid neural networks. In 2022, Cortical Labs made a big splash after ...
