Our sensory contact with external reality is limited by the narrow ranges that our sense organs can register. We can see only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum mostly because Earth’s ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...
