🤖 World-first biological data center uses 16 million living human neurons to process data
Researchers in Singapore have just unveiled a new type of data center prototype that uses living human neurons to process information. The project was launched by the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the NUS Medicine. To develop the prototype, the university teamed up with data center developer DayOne and biological computing startup Cortical Labs.
Established at the NUS Life Sciences Institute, the Biological Data Centre is made up of 20 CL1 biological computing units. The CL1 is the world’s first commercial, code-deployable biological computer. It is powered by 800,000 lab-grown human brain cells. This is the world’s first independently operated biologically integrated server rack.
Biological computing uses wetware to process data. This consists of living neurons grown from stem cells. The neurons are connected to computing hardware via microelectrode arrays. These let electrical signals pass between the biological cells and digital systems.
