A team of Chinese and Swiss scientists has jointly developed an energy-efficient sensing-computing neuromorphic chip that mimics the neurons and synapses of the human brain. The human brain, capable of processing incredibly intricate and expansive neural networks, operates with a total power consumption of merely 20 watts, significantly lower than that of current AI systems. Therefore, neuromorphic or brain-like computing offers promising energy-saving machine intelligence.

STORY: Wriggling abiotic worm manifests "intelligent life" rudiment DATELINE: June 3, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:42 LOCATION: Beijing CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: various of MetaWorm STORYLINE: MetaWorm, a simulation model of a roundworm, was unveiled at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) Conference 2022 on Tuesday. When stimulated by food signals, MetaWorm wriggles its body forward like a living worm. It mimics the 96 muscles and 302 neurons that compose the one-millimeter-long soft body of Caenorhabditis elegans, a type of roundworm. Developed by BAAI, MetaWorm can smell and move under the high-precision simulations of 106 neurons which are relevant to the dynamic mechanism.

KYOTO, Japan - A group of scientists led by Yoshiki Sasai, professor at Kyoto University, have succeeded in generating neurons that produce neurotransmitter dopamine (above) and light-sensitive retina cells (below) from a monkey's embryonic stem cells, the scientists said Jan. 29. The scientists claim the experiments could lead to treatment of Parkinson's disease and other incurable diseases.
