Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created an artificial neuron whose electrical behavior closely mirrors that of natural brain cells. This breakthrough expands on their previous work with protein nanowires derived from electricity-generating bacteria. The technique could one day let computers match the energy efficiency of living systems and connect with biological tissue.
