New bio-inspired devices accelerate routes to brain-like computing

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Tennessee and Texas A&M University demonstrated bio-inspired devices that accelerate routes to neuromorphic, or brain-like, computing. Results published in Nature Communications report the first example of a lipid-based “memcapacitor,” a charge storage component with memory that processes information much like synapses do in the brain.

Saving Seeds the Right Way Can Save the World’s Plants

Exotic pests, shrinking ranges and a changing climate threaten some of the world’s most rare and ecologically important plants, and so conservationists establish seed collections to save the seeds in banks or botanical gardens in hopes of preserving some genetic diversity. For decades, these seed collections have been guided by simple models that offer a

Professor’s Invention Seeks to Destroy Cancer

His big idea: develop a technology that goes on a “seek and destroy” mission for cancerous tumors. Christian Parigger, associate professor of physics at the University of Tennessee Space Institute in Tullahoma, wants to advance the fight against cancer. His invention uses a femtosecond laser, which means it pulses at speeds of one-quadrillionth of a
