Building Brains out of Carbon Nanotubes

Recent research done in Italy and Switzerland shows that carbon nanotubes may be the best bet in the attempt to engineer an artificial brain, mostly because of their chemical and electrical properties, which closely resemble those of human neurons. The complete study was published on December... [ read more >> ]
