Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom—function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future ...

An integrated spiking artificial neuron, with rich neuron functionality, single-transistor footprints, and low energy consumption for neuromorphic computing systems, can be created by stacking one ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...

Most people rarely think about how they breathe unless experiencing respiratory distress. Yet emerging research suggests that the pathway through which we inhale and exhale – nose versus mouth – ...

Experts explain how protein supports healthy aging—and why no single nutrient works alone.
