Astronauts on the ISS are looking for solutions to problems that may arise during a long flight
The flight of Russian cosmonauts and NASA astronauts, participants of the 70th long-term expedition, continues at the International Space Station. A long stay in space causes physical changes in the human body. For example, the condition of bones and muscles deteriorates. Therefore, the health of astronauts is closely studied by doctors and scientists.
Scientists have grown a mini-biocomputer from human stem cells – Brainoware
Bioengineers from Indiana University in the US have combined lab-grown human brain tissue with microelectrodes. The scientists called their creation Brainoware. The biocomputer is in its early stages of development, but can already perform complex tasks such as voice recognition. Lead researcher Dr Feng Guo hopes his lighter-than-usual software will help advance artificial intelligence technology. This could also mean that AI hardware uses much less power than using silicon chips alone.
