Chip design giant ARM has teamed up with US researchers on a project to develop chips that can be implanted in the human brain.

3D printed ‘Lego-style’ ovary could help infertile women have children

Researchers from the university have successfully grown brain cells on a semiconductor wafer.

Researchers from UCLA and the University of Connecticut have designed a new biofriendly energy storage system called a biological supercapacitor, which operates using charged particles, or ions, from fluids in the human body. The device is harmless to the body's biological systems, and it could lead to longer-lasting cardiac pacemakers and other implantable medical devices.

A team of neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania has shown for the first time that electrical stimulation delivered when memory is predicted to fail can improve memory function in the human brain. That same stimulation generally becomes disruptive when electrical pulses arrive during periods of effective memory function.

Elon Musk has lifted the lid on his new startup, Neuralink, a new endeavor to link the human mind to the power of digital computing and artificial intelligence.

Complex neurotechnological devices are required to directly select and influence brain waves inside the skull’s interior. Although it has become relatively easy to implement the devices, researchers are still faced with challenges when trying to keep them running properly in living organisms over time. But that could be changing now, thanks to a new method. A research team was able to create a microprobe that grows into the neural tissue without inflammation and with the help of a medicinal coa...
