Welcome to the Science Mondays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Science Mondays will feature stuff from the world of science and science related content. Our goal here at Geek Alabama is to hopefully have you learn something useful and fulfilling. Science is a geek’s best friend, and we love featuring science content here at Geek Alabama.
A group of scientists in Switzerland are trying to create computing power using brain cells, in a field called biocomputing.
One day, they hope we could see data centres full of “living” servers which replicate aspects of how artificial intelligence learns – and could use a fraction of the energy of current methods.
It involves creating neurons which are developed into clusters called organoids, which in turn can be attached to electrodes – at which point the process of trying to use them like mini-computers can begin.
