On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention

In a study led by Lund University, researchers can show for the first time that traumatic brain injuries activate dormant endogenous retroviruses that have been inserted into human DNA over the course of millions of years. The activation of these viruses may be the driving force behind the inflammation that worsens the brain injury. The study is published in Cell Reports. In the event of head trau
