flag Swiss scientists grow mini-brains from stem cells to develop energy-efficient, learning biocomputers.

flag Swiss scientists are developing biocomputers using lab-grown human brain organoids made from stem cells, aiming to create energy-efficient "wetware" systems that can learn and respond to stimuli. flag These mini-brains, kept alive for up to four months, show basic neural activity and can process electrical signals, though they lack blood vessels and remain poorly understood. flag The research, led by FinalSpark in Vevey, explores using living cells for AI and computing tasks, with similar efforts underway in the U.S. and Australia. flag While still experimental, the work represents a significant step toward biological computing, though widespread use remains years away.
