Daran-Lapujade’s lab took human DNA (in red) coding for essential muscle cell functions and inserted it into the DNA (chromosomes in purple) of a yeast cell (in yellow). Humanized yeast can be used as a tool for medical studies, for example in drug testing and cancer research. Credit: Studio Ella Maru / Pascale Daran-Lapujade Scientists …

Researchers have been trying for years to build artificial synapses in hopes of approaching the unparalleled computational performance of the human brain. A new approach has now succeeded in designing them 1,000 times smaller and 10,000 times faster than their biological counterparts. Despite the runaway success of deep learning over the past decade, this brain-inspired …
