Like a plug and a socket, a nerve and a muscle fiber mesh at the neuromuscular junction. New work by Nishimune et al published in the Journal of Cell Biology reveals that an extracellular matrix ...

Above – Illustrations showing the basic operation of NIST’s artificial synapse, which could connect processors and store memories in future neuromorphic computers operating like the human brain. A ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have built a superconducting switch that mimics the behavior of a synapse between neurons. This artificial synapse could help advance ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications ...

BOULDER, Colo.--Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a superconducting switch that "learns" like a biological system and could connect processors and ...
