Neuromorphic Chip Detects Biosignals

The neuromorphic chip reliably and precisely detects high-frequency oscillations in previously recorded intracranial EEG. Credit: UZH, ETHZ, USZNeuromorphic Chip: Artificial Neurons Identify Biosignals in Real TimeScientists from Zurich have created a portable, energy-efficient gadget made from synthetic nerve cells that can decoding brainwaves. The chip uses information videotaped from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients...

Bill Gates’s next-gen nuclear plant packs in grid-scale energy storage

Wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, wave power… Sustainable resources are an essential pillar of any type of strategy to decarbonize the planet’s power generation sectors as well as eradicate fossil fuel usage. However, for several factors – intermittency, location dependence, land needs, and others – they can not accomplish it on their own.A scalable form...

Researcher Invents a Toilet that Transformers Human Feces

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6z5OduN8voResearcher at a South Korean university UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology) has developed a toilet that turns human feces into energy. As a bonus incentive, it provides a small amount of digital currency to be exchanged for coffee or a cup of noodles on campus.How the "generator" that produces energy from...
