An early step toward creating #biocomputers, which would borrow tricks from biology to make them more powerful and energy efficient than traditional computers.

To boost the computing power of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have combined run-of-the-mill machine learning with a sophisticated 3D model of the human brain made of different types of brain tissue grown in the lab.
