[ad_1] Researchers created a new design for computer memory that could improve performance while also lowering the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are expected to consume nearly a third of global electricity in the next ten years.The study was published in the journal, 'Science Advances.' The University of Cambridge-led team created a device that processes data in the same way that synapses in the human brain do. The devices are made of hafnium oxide, a material that is already used in the semiconductor industry, and tiny self-assembled barriers that can be raised and lowered to allow electrons to pass through. This method of altering the electrical resistance in computer memory devices and allowing information processing and memory to coexist could lea...

[ad_1] The embryo has a brain, a beating heart, and the building blocks for every other organ in the body.Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created world's first "synthetic" embryo that has a brain, a beating heart, and the building blocks for every other organ in the body, said a report from New York Post. The embryo has been created from mouse stem cells, the outlet further said.According to a release from the university, instead of using eggs or sperm, a team lead by Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz created the embryo model using stem cells, which are the body's stem cells and can differentiate into nearly any type of cell.Ms Zernicka-Goetz is a professor in Mammalian Development and Stem Cell Biology in Cambridge's Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscien...
