Brain-inspired computing with fluidic iontronic nanochannels ( www.pnas.org )
Scientists have created an artificial synapse that works with water and salt, mimicking the medium used by our brains. This could lead to more efficient and energy-saving brain-inspired computers. The device, called an iontronic memristor, consists of a microchannel filled with water and salt, and can process complex information...

'Shocking' Discovery: Electricity from Electric Eels May Transfer Genetic Material to Nearby Animals ( www.nagoya-u.ac.jp )
The electric eel is the biggest power-making creature on Earth. It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine. In a recent study, a research group from Nagoya University in Japan found electric eels can release enough electricity to genetically modify small fish larvae. They published their findings in PeerJ -...
