People given general anaesthesia fall into a coma-like state in which their memory and perception of pain are switched off.

A team at Northwestern University has fabricated artificial neurons by printing them onto flexible plastic, and the tiny devices fire electrical spikes so similar to those of real brain cells that ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don’t just imitate the brain — they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible ...
