Scientists have developed experimental computers that combine human brain cells with electronic chips. These "biological computers" are being studied to solve complex problems while using much less energy than traditional computers. The brain cells can respond to electrical signals and even learn simple tasks. Researchers hope this technology could improve medicine and artificial intelligence in the future. It is still in the early stages of development.
The idea of a computer partly powered by living cells sounds like science fiction, but it is already being researched.
