While silicon-based computing is cutting-edge today, human brain-based tech could be on track to dominate the future. Researchers are exploring how brain organoids—tiny clumps of neurons that resemble ...

When Ava’s robot loses power, she and Brooke turn lemons into batteries. When Ava’s robot loses power, she and friend Brooke turn lemons into batteries. Their experiment sparks questions about how ...

Stanford scientists have solved a key conundrum in keeping organoids — lab-grown clusters of cells that resemble human organs — alive. These mini-brains and mini-hearts mimic human organs and enable ...

Earthquakes and landslides are famously difficult to predict and prepare for. By studying a miniature version of the ground in the lab, scientists have demonstrated how these events can be triggered ...

Scientists have grown 'mini-guts' in the lab to help understand Crohn's disease, showing that 'switches' that modify DNA in gut cells play an important role in the disease and how it presents in ...
