Functioning Synapse Created Using Carbon Nanotubes

[heisenberg]

Engineering researchers the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in the use of nanotechnologies for the construction of a synthetic brain. They have built a carbon nanotube synapse circuit whose behavior in tests reproduces the function of a neuron, the building block of the brain.

Kickass!!!! The wonders of Science . But this is scary if you think about it...

Fantastic, congrats on the scientists that created this.

This could, one day assist in helping patients that have suffered brain damage.

Yes but do the Cylons have a genuine plan this time or is this just more trash talk?

I see Hargreave-Rasch is maintaining its time table for Nanosuit development.

Some are beyond any kind of help. Look at Congress and the Senate.

I await the rule of our benevolent Cylon overlords. Just don't introduce them to religion.

Think the Senate is part of Congress.

Now they just need to build 99,999,999,999 more of these things to match the amount in the brain. Well, if you take out the ones used for sex stuff and thoughts, you'd probably only need about 1/4th that number.
