A team of researchers from CNRS and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in France develop the first prototype for an artificial neuron, according to a study published in Science (1). As in the brain, their system uses ions to carry information, and it relies on a thin layer of water transporting ions within long graphene incisions.
Our brain can perform the most impressive and complex tasks. However, despite this complexity, it needs very little energy. This high efficiency comes from neurons, which have a membrane with tiny pores called ion channels. These channels can open and close according to the stimuli received from neighbouring neurons. The result is an electric current going from neuron to neuron, allowing these cells to communicate with each other.
Artificial intelligence can perform complex tasks just as efficiently as a brain, but it needs incredible amounts of energy. Many researchers are keen to develop electronic systems that can be as energy efficient as brains by using ions – not electrons – to carry the information.
Surprisingly, the field of nanofluidics – the study of how fluids behave in channels less than 100 nanometers wide – seems to be the best option. Using this approach, a team of researchers from the ENS Laboratoire de Physique, based at the CNRS/ENS-PSL/Sorbonne University/University of Paris, has built the first ever artificial neuron. The French team managed to build a prototype with thin graphene incisions containing a single layer of water molecules…

Graphene Ping!............................
Hmmm?
Graphene oxide in the virus vaccines.
Oh Noes! The deadly graphene! runaway!
But we’ve been told by sciency experts that’s not so and we should totally believe them.
[ Oh Noes! The deadly graphene! runaway! ]
It is just carbon the body is made from carbon.
Just like how Carbon and Nitrogen, nitrogen being inert inthe atmosphere, are found abundantly in natural so any compound made from carbon and nitrogen will be inert.
Cant remember how many times I impaled myself on a Ticonderoga #2 and had the tip break off inside my palm or arm. I’m doing good so far.
This is the graphene ping list.
