René

René Dubos was a French-American microbiologist and ecologist who made significant contributions to the fields of microbiology and biology. He is best known for his discovery of antibiotics, particularly penicillin, and his work on the intestinal microbiome. Dubos also wrote influential books on tuberculosis and Louis Pasteur's life and work. Despite his many achievements, he is perhaps most famous for expressing second thoughts on the germ theory of disease in a 1955 Scientific American article.

Scientists Build Water-Salt Synapse: First Proof of Complex Information Processing in Artificial Brain Component

Broke On: Thursday, 25 April 2024 Dutch and South Korean researchers have built the first water-and-salt synapse that processes complex information, mimicking human brain synapses. The artificial synapse, composed of a microchannel filled with a saltwater solution, adjusts conductivity based on impulse intensity or duration.
