A notable aspect of the CL1 is its ability to learn and adapt to tasks. Previous research has demonstrated that neuron-based systems can be trained to perform basic functions, such as playing simple video games. Cortical Labsâ work suggests that integrating biological elements into computing could improve efficiency in tasks that traditional AI struggles with, such as pattern recognition and decision-making in unpredictable environments.
Cortical Labs says that the first CL1 computers will be available for shipment to customers in June, with each unit priced at approximately $35,000.
The use of human neurons in computing raises questions about the future of AI development. Biological computers like the CL1 could provide advantages over conventional AI models, particularly in terms of learning efficiency and energy consumption. The adaptability of neurons could lead to improvements in robotics, automation, and complex data analysis.
A new study in Physical Review Letters has used atomic clocks to study relativistic effects in interacting quantum systems.
In the Patagonia region of southern Chile, there are âliving rocks.â
While thatâs what the locals say, Veronica Godoy-Carter, associate professor of biology and biochemistry at Northeastern University, says itâs a little more complicated than that.
âTheyâre actually little mountains,â she says, of âgiant biofilms that are billions of years old. Literally billions.â
SLAC scientists use laser shaping to create an electron beam with five times more peak current, unlocking new frontiers in physics.
NASA has just pulled off a breakthrough that could change space communication forever. A deep-space laser transmission has traveled an astonishing distance, surpassing anything done before.
Scientists have developed a quantum computer that uses light to process data, paving the way for quantum computers that can operate in a networked environment at room temperature.
The new system, called Aurora, is the first photonic quantum computer in the world that can operate at scale using several modules interconnected through fiber optic cables. The system presents a solution to some of quantum computingâs biggest problems â namely operation at scale, fault tolerance and error correction, Xanadu representatives say.
